March 2022 Meeting

Norfolk & Suffolk Narrow Gauge Modellers
Chocolate number “8” cake for our 8th Anniversary made by Sarah Doe. Thank You!

Our eighth Anniversary meeting was held on 5th March when about 13 members attended. Along with a great chocolate cake by Sarah, we had various bacon/sausage/egg rolls cooked at lunchtime by villagers Carol and Zane, the rolls were just the job, thank you.

Most members were working at tables on models, one of my layouts was tested to get ready for this years exhibitions. There are photos shown below:-

A Marsh Creek Miniatures 3D printed H0n30 Baldwin running on Bachmann “Skarloey” chassis for the “Empire City Railway” by Richard Doe.
