Back to Brian Macdermotts's list for this weeks film. Nettlecombe is one of the those layouts where the rolling stock is secondary to the scenery modelling. There is some lovely detail which the film rightly concentrates on, even if it proves quite how hard it it so video this sort of thing with such limited depth of field provided by most cameras.
I think I have connections with everyone in the film too. John and Jane Jacobs have made a number of lovely layouts that I've admired at shows. We booked one (Fiddlers Green I think) for our event and once they arrived, helped out unloading the trailer. Sadly, our over-enthusiasm wasn't appreciated and we were told to put everything back so each board could be brought out in the correct order.
Mark Found came to our clubrooms once and I'm pretty sure I managed to get myself on a DVD he made in the good old Railway Channel days. He didn't realise he had a future star on his hands back then though...
