Have you booked yet? The last 'An Evening With' for 2021 is on Friday 26th November - this Friday at 20:00 GMT Join Jeff Langham and Peter Reynolds to find out about signalling on the real railway and how to apply it to your model railways. A convincing model railway, of any size and of any era, just cries out for working signals. This is considerably easier in 7mm scale than in the smaller scales to achieve. Join members of the SR7mm Group who will talk about the planning, and implementation, of convincing signalling in 7mm scale, methods of operation – including an ex-Western Region NX panel – for the 11 colour light, and around 80 working semaphore arms and disc signals on their railway. The event is live via Zoom on 26th November 2021 at 20:00 GMT. You must register for this event as places are limited. The event is FREE to members or £2:00 for non-members. The 'An Evening With Sessions' will then resume on 26th January 2022. See you Friday Jackie & The Virtual Events Team

'An Evening With Thomas Hoy & Colin French' 26th October at 19:30 BST The Gauge O Guild 'An Evening With' sessions continue with Thomas Hoy and Colin French sharing their experience of designing and building small layouts. Their collective experience and ideas will show that 7mm / O gauge in a small space really does work! Colin’s layouts range from 25.5 inches long to 4 feet long; all are pointless. The space that would be taken up by points is used for other features. Thomas Hoy has a layout 7 feet long designed to entertain him, fit into a space in his bedroom and is easily transportable. Thomas’s layout features a single point, a three way point and a sector plate; a really unusual feature is a DCC operated yard crane. Joining instructions will contain a link to a video to watch before the evening so you can see what they have achieved Register via the front page of the Gauge O Guild website Members free of charge.
