Next to us was the ‘OO’ modern image Oak Road.  Based on Castle Cary station, the scenery captured the local Shepton Mallet hills very well.  Lots of HST’s running by (but not photographed), and some fine modern diesels.  We commented … Continue reading →

Posted on September 3, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

We took a 3×1 modular layout to the Gaugemaster show. This really seems to be an optimum size, easy to transport and set up and large enough to impress at the show. The only drawbacks are the duck-under (crawl under … Continue reading →

It was Terrier night, with my British Railways version (plus new Dapol Maunsell brake-composite.) Derek’s ‘Bodiam’…. And Derek’s ‘Earlswood’. Simon … Continue reading →

Another pleasant afternoon playing trains, with a bakers dozen or so of members and friends attending. Paul brought along part of his Kato Racetrack, with transition boards to change from Kato Unitrack to N-mod standards.  20′ of layout just about … Continue reading →

We moved club night forward a day, as the hall was being used as a polling station on the Thursday.  And although a number of members can’t make Wednesdays, we still had a very respectable turn out of 10 people. … Continue reading →

The Treasurer was beside himself – 16 whole people to take money off!!  I’m not sure where they all came from, but it was good to see a club night buzzing, and the tracks full of trains. Peter has been … Continue reading →

A good social evening with 10 members present – and welcome to Paul, who dropped in and for some reason made Mr Apps’ evening by immediately joining.  There seemed to be plenty of trains running, so many that I didn’t … Continue reading →
