Well, went along to the Model Railway Club last night, and got a bit of good news/bad news:
Good news: it seems I won a prize in the raffle at the Weston-super-Mare MRE on Sunday.
Bad news: see picture below...

(Hint: The 'Blood and Custard' Mark 1 wasn't the prize...)
From the Pete Waterman Collection eh?
Coulda been worse; it could have been a CD
You won an alarm clock?

;D It's not an alarm clock, it's one of those radio-set clocks with weather station... and it wasn't the prize...
Looks like a nice fund-raiser for some decent N Gauge stock. ;)

I was thinking it could have been Waterman himself >:D
So....will it be up for sale sometime to raise funds for slightly smaller stuff?
Nice looking paper weight, quite useful what with all these strong winds of late. >:D ;D
O' its a Castle - silly me i thought it was F*** Hall :-[

Yes... it's a very nice model, so I'm having mixed feelings about what to to - either put it in a display case or use it to fund more smaller gauge stuff...
If the latter then it will be later on in the year when the impending ex-SR loco and passenger stock is finally released.
I've had a phone call this evening to say I've won something in the raffle aswell. It will be delivered to me on Saturday. I don't recall there being many N gauge items as prizes...
I've been contemplating joining the Nailsea & District MRC, maybe look into it a bit more this year.

You'll be welcome... we have a small N-Gauge exhibition layout under construction, but there's only a few of us and it's a struggle to keep it going.
Just received my prize:

As I expected, it's OO Gauge aswell. I'm sure I'll find a use for it though on another project.
Had a quick chat with Keith when he dropped it off, and I might come over to the Nailsea club on Tuesday if I'm not doing anything else (and as long as I can find the place okay ;) ).
I just received my prize from last November's Rail-Ex Taunton - completely out of the blue. It seems I won two mega-tankers in the raffle. They're huge, though. I can't see them fitting on the track. Or they might be 00 Gauge. :D
