Oops by Don Pearce

Oops by Don Pearce. Living in Sweaburg at the time, Ralph Tayler and I, built a somewhat portable layout for a show the local Lions Club was putting on.  We had lots of fun building this but it did not come without some construction problems. One of the issues we had to deal with was a harbour scene that was poured with varnish.  We thought we had let it sit long enough to dry.  So we set it on edge to make room to build other modules.  When we came back to the harbour section to work on it again, we discovered the tide had gone out and the varnish had flowed to one side of the module.  The layout did get finished and it was a learning experience to say the least.
