As well as the usual chat, working on layouts and modelling activities, we also try to arrange a program of demonstrations, presentations and other events of interest for our members. Over the years these have included members photographs of prototypes from several continents and at least two centuries (!), plus a range of modelling demonstrations from building basic plastic kits, through soldering to airbrush painting, wiring and DCC.
New members are always welcome, especially if you want to get involved in our club layouts in N, OO, P4 or O gauge. So if any of these topics interests you, why not come along and join our club?
