The first meeting of 2024, and a very respectable nine members plus one visitor turned out. The treasurer is hoping that this enthusiasm continues into the year.


Simon was running some American stock, and I was most impressed by his B29 wing in transit! This was how they transported the bits between factories in WW2.
Terry also crossed the pond with this little Atlantic Coast Line swither. I have always rather liked the exotic livery of the line on 1st generation diesels.

Derek ran this international mixed-up goods train!
