February 2026 Meeting

Norfolk & Suffolk Narrow Gauge Modellers

We had a record turn-out of 21 members on 7th February. Most people were working on models of one form or another. Here are a few photos:-

Graham brought along his new O9 layout “Ramsdale” (work in progress) to test-run. It is an estate line to a country house with tea room. Continuous run, size only 36″ x 20″.
Always good to see Graham & Jamie D. Here, the track gang were busy laying OO track on Jamie’s new 4ft long layout for a joint OO and 009 station. Looking forward to see this progress.
This great-looking barn is a Scale Model Scenery 4mm kit built by Stuart L.
Nigel is adapting toys acquired quite cheaply to build a 16mm garden line. The halt is built for the outdoors, and the coach, one of a pair, will have more details applied to look more realistic.
Thank you to Sarah for making this great fruit cake to celebrate our leader Richard’s up-coming special Birthday.
