Today we have the modelling challenges for 2024 – if you dare!

As we leave the Christmas holidays, here’s Oxford Street in 1949.  I’m not sure what happened to the reindeer….

This would be fun to build.  Volklingen in 1946.  I’ve seen all sorts of photos of post-war conversion of tanks to bulldozers, farm tractors and cranes, so there is quite some opportunity there….

I have an Airfix HP42 kit in my stash.  This lovely photo inspires me to actually build it!  Refuelling ‘Tibereas’, somewhere in the Middle East, I guess.

And if you are into trams and trolleys, how about one of the Cincinnati inclines in 1947?

And you may need a proper tramway point to go with it?

A couple of old bus photos.  Redhill in 1911 and and ST class in Reigate in the 1930’s.

Wednesday was the first ESNG meeting for 2024.  It will probably look something like this!  (An N7 tank at North Hatfield in 1954 and Littlehampton in 1963.)

And remember….
