August 2024 Meeting

Norfolk & Suffolk Narrow Gauge Modellers

About 15 members met at Barsham & Shipmeadow Village Hall on August 10th. There was quite a bit going on from layout testing to minute parts being added to models. Here are some photos:-

Graham brought along his “Drawley” O9 diorama mainly to test a new controller that he had bought.
David uses this small 009 layout to test the running of his chassis and 3D printed models.
David’s test track uses Kato Unitrack set track units with curve radius of only 4.5 inches.
