November 2022 Meeting

Norfolk & Suffolk Narrow Gauge Modellers

We had 16 members attend November’s meeting in Barsham with a good range of models being worked upon or displayed:-

Alan C brought along his O-16.5 layout “North Level Railway” for a full set-up and test run. It featured in the June 2017 Railway Modeller magazine while being owned by the layouts builder.
Ray was making further Greenwich couplings and also test running this
new Minitrains Deutz diesel loco.
Jim was making some Dundas Slate Wagons but has been scratch building these 4mm structures from card and buildings papers etc. The tiny chapel has been built from a modified plastic kit.
Chris has recently started this 009 micro layout named “Ashfield Road”, it is self-contained and battery-powered. He was also working on an O9 lamp hut using Wills Corrugated Asbestos plastic sheet.
Neville brought along his recently painted G scale coach body, and was making the door handles using brass wire and split pins.

Work Tables:-

Alan is scratch building a Chicago Tunnel Co. battery mining loco from plasticard after making a cardboard prototype.
John was repairing a 16mm loco and at the same time making modifications to the chassis. New frames have been 3D printed.
David has 3D printed some more 009 wagons now adding brake detail. He has made a start on painting.
David was also trying some Microscale Krystal Clear to glaze one of his CL08 locos.
Malcolm was painting a 16mm figure using his preferred oil paints.
Dave was constructing a 4mm Ancorton Models wooden Jetty for his “New Walmington Pier” layout, first using washes of coffee to stain the wood.

He’s also been working on some stone colouring before the building of the structures. He also bought some 3D printed diamond brick platform edging.
Malcolm also brought along this vintage (1987) 4mm station building made of card and based on Tan-y-Bwlch.
Bill was converting more Tri-Ang track to 1/16 scale track.
Stewart was deconstructing an approximate T scale model of Wenhaston station to convert it to a model of Blythburgh station as it will be under preservation. The station building was also being modified to represent the one at Blythburgh.
