Where is everybody??

[Papyrus]

Bit quiet here, this weekend, isn't it? Barely 30 posts over the last 24 hours. We normally do better than that on a weekday. Is everybody OK? Christmas shopping, perhaps?

Cheers,

It is getting a little quiet lately.

What can be done to encourage a little more participation?

Good question Chris @Papyrus , I am sitting at home reading. I watched the film "Lawrence of Arabia" a few weeks ago for the umpteenth time and decided to find out how accurate David Lean's film is. This has led me to borrowing from our local library the "Authorised Biography of TE Lawrence" by Jeremy Wilson. I am on page 28 of 1188! It is going to be long read...

Having flicked through the book, I think it will be fascinating.

I think the forum has quietened down appreciably in the last year. I visit every day, but often don't find anything to reply to.

@Moonglum Tim, many years ago my parents bungalow in Northampton was named 'Clouds Hill'.
'Clouds Hill' was a former residence of T.E. Lawrence and was in Dorset

@Papyrus Chris, I agree things have been quite quiet recently and am surprised by the lack of posts when I log on at times. I reckon it needs a good announcement to get everyone frothing again.
It was hinted there maybe one from Revolution as Ben was at the opening of Rails shop at Sheffield station yesterday, but I don't know what gauge or even if there was one

I'm building an Isinglas Gresley push-pull coach which I bought at the NEC National Festival of Railway Modelling last week. By coincidence, it scales out very close to the now ancient Westwater and Kirk non-corridors I already run. Only problem so far seems to be fitting the roof; the kit is otherwise excellent, but I need to file out the inside of one end to make it sit 'right'.

Also fielding phone calls from Steve (of JS) about my potential new layout which he seems to be designing for me.......

Yes indeed Mick @Newportnobby , "Clouds Hill" is the title of the last chapter (45) of the book before the Appendices. Presumably, there is no connection with your family?
