Monday Motivation (Shelfie2, First Results)

Posted on January 14, 2019 by bawdsey

This weekend was a good shakedown for Shelfie2 at the Define show. The Dinghams worked with a high degree of reliability, and generated quite a bit of interest by themselves. The stock worked well too, and we had a visitor … Continue reading →

Throwback Thursday, (Illuminating Shelfie2)

Posted on November 29, 2018 by bawdsey

These images are about two years old, I find that surprising because sometimes time seems to stand still with a layout, despite progress being made. Shelfie2 has had a bit of a Byzantine journey, ranging from a North Wales DMU … Continue reading →
