Nick brought along a Worsley Works kit that he had recently built, just the wheels and paint to complete. I have not seen this one before and he had made an excellent job of soldering, very clean. It represents an LMS Express Parcels delivery van, with later style body on a Fordson 'B' chassis. The only items not in the kit are the radiator cap, steering wheel/column and the wheels. What do you think?

Nick spent the evening working on a flat wagon to go under an 'N Gauge Society' container.
Bill brought along a tool/jig that he built to make loops for DG couplings. Under his right hand is a guillotine with a stop to cut the wire to the correct length, and the operation you see in the photo is the wire laid over a channel and the lever in Bill's right hand is pushing the wire down into the channel to form a 'U' shape. This lever remains in the slot whilst each of the side levers (pointing towards the camera) is brought round in turn to bend each leg over to form a complete loop. Clever! The resulting loops are very neat and to the correct size. Bill also has a jig for forming the dropper and for holding it and the loop correctly for soldering. These were not on show unfortunately.

David (S) and I were working on wagon chassis for our various projects of which more later.
