    Hi,
    A further update if anyone is thinking of going to Peterborough Garden Railway Show on Saturday 4th April 2020.My partner and myself will be at the show. We will be displaying my Garratt K1 which was built from scratch by one of our members and has been given to me by my partner.The stand that we are displaying our models on is called Steam Model Loco.There will be hopefully some 3d printed models of our own design on display besides other scratch built models by members of the said group. We are open to all questions and answers of what we are about.Any further questions regarding this year's show please dont be afraid to contact me.
    Regards,
    Gloria.

    Just been watching the news, it looks like they're taking it very seriously now. I must admit it is worrying me as they say its the older generation and people that are longtime ill that are most at risk!

    Pete.

    Good evening Pete,
    Yes I can imagine how worried you are.I heard Matt Hancock say this evening that they are monitoring the situation. Hopefully if the weather changes and gets warmer then there might be less of a risk. Sorry to say it's the people entering the country that's bringing this virus in.Just have to keep fingers legs and everything else crossed. I am 79 this year luckily quite fit although I do feel my age its the trains that keep me going. You take care great care Pete and you and your wife keep warm and dry.
    Regards,
    Gloria.
