Due to the Corona outbreak it is more than likely that meetings, auctions and fairs which were planned for the coming months will be cancelled.
On the bright side: because of the extra time we now all have, it is a great opportunity to run our trains or revive old projects: dust off and clean locomotives and rolling stock, finish (or start) restorations and make adjustments to our lay-outs.
