August 2023 Meeting

Our Group met on 5th August, a very rainy day. Altogether, 16 members came along to work on projects, or test models. We discussed this years shows and suggestions for next years Group Challenge. The “Group” now owns a good quality Static Grass Applicator for loan to members upon request. Here are some photos from the days meeting:-

Graham brought along his 009 layout “Shortwaite Hill” to run and test. Here is Bagnall “Rowan” leaving the goods siding at Stonegate.

Stock for Bill’s 10.25″ nursery railway in 1:16 scale all built from strip wood and card using second-hand OO chassis.

Clive resurrected this very worn AHM Minitrains Baldwin 0-4-0 from the 1970’s, and it ran quite well.
