July 2021 Meeting

Norfolk & Suffolk Narrow Gauge Modellers

At last we were able to meet in our base venue, Barsham Village Hall, albeit with a few restrictions. There were five layouts displayed and running this time, which was nice to see, plus locomotives and stock of several different scales.

Here below are a few pictures taken on the day, click on images to enlarge.

“Staines Barn” by Richard in 009. A micro layout inspired by a real Norfolk railway which transported sugar beet for processing at the factory. A Bagnall side tank, and a locomotive which uses a Ford Model T chassis are seen in operation.
Ray’s O-16.5 Smallbrook Studios kits recently re-painted and lined.
Stuart (Norfolk Heath Works) has produced several 16mm wagons and also built a detailed Hudson Hunslet body on a motorised chassis from laser-cut mdf.
Graham brought along his 7mm scale O9 layout “Raven Hill” for testing and first display. Locos are a variety of resin kits, brass kits and 3D prints on Kato 11-103 and Graham Farish 0-6-0 chassis.
A Fletcher Jennings design in O-16.5 by Geoff built out of old scrap apart from the radio receiver. The chassis is from an old Hornby 0-6-0 tank cut down to give an 0-4-0.
A rural corner of Jim’s 009 layout “Hubbards Halt” that hasn’t been displayed for a year and a half.
A selection of G scale, 45mm gauge items from Neville including an IP Engineering Jessie 0-4-0
Suart’s Gn15 “Great Eastern Boxfile Challenge” entry.
Back in our village hall.

An un-named 009 layout built by the friend of one of our group members and who was selling it.
A small scene on “New Walmington Pier” in 009 by Dave.
