A trip to Portsmouth

Peter Rutter is an excellent modeller with a strong M&SWJR interest. On 18th May 2008 I met Peter at his home in Portsmouth to see his superb Chiseldon OO Gauge layout and his excellent collection of M&SWJR related pictures and items. At the same time, because Portsmouth had won the FA Cup the previous day, we took some time out to see the open top bus parade!
