October 2025 Meeting

Norfolk & Suffolk Narrow Gauge Modellers

Our Group met on October 4th at Barsham & Shipmeadow Village Hall where 15 members gathered, making models, and attending to layouts or rolling stock.

Here are a few photos:-

Graham & Jamie visited from Essex, they are working on the electrics for their RNAD narrow gauge and standard gauge layout.

Above, David had a test track of “Kato Unitrack” set up for DCC testing. He has also designed and 3D printed a 009 loco inspired by a class 66 loco with correct sounds and printed some containers to fit on his universal wagon chassis.

John visited this month and brought along his work in progress 009 portable layout. The two left hand buildings have been laser cut by John himself.

This is a Hornby TT 120 class 08 shunter, Richard is using it with a view to use the chassis for a OOn3 loco.

Stewart made a Blythburgh Signal Cabin using plasticard in 4mm scale, displayed here with his modified Alphagraphix Blythburgh station building kit.

Bill is continuing to work on his 1:16 coach, the roof recently being produced using his own jig.
