Well, as has been commented on the last post (and the bush telegraph is working well I see) the new home base is indeed Palmerston North. If you had told me even 3 years ago I'd be living in the Manawatu I would have laughed at you, and yet here I am. I must admit that I have been pleasantly surprised as its not quite as bad as I had previously thought. It is a bit different from Nelson, as I can hear the Saturday night stock car races as I type. However it is much closer to Wellington and a variety of other like minded modelers (even modeling in the same scale).
Further to this all, it appears that I'll be making the trip to the W(h)anganui show in a couple of weekends with cabbage, B 0-4-4-0 and assorted other hangers on.
Finally, here's one of the costumes from the Wellington sevens. Apparently they even have the crossing bell sounds.

Those were spied from the signalling dept at work Friday as they wandered past outside....I suggested we hire them to stand on a certain level crossing at Stratford.
There is little that encourages one's own modelling efforts more than meeting with other modellers working in the same scale. The 1/32 'narrow' gauge fraternity has just come up with its own forum www.slimrails.com which has given me a proverbial boot up the bum to get my home layout built.
