This might be something I would be interested in if it is still happening?

Hello Simon ( and everyone else! )

 

As you can see from our recent posts Twickenham MRC are ready to start a D&E layout

 

Floor space in the clubroom to erect the finished layout  - TICK!

 

Storage space to store the layout - TICK!

 

Money available and ready to spend on the layout - TICK!

 

The only thing we need now are one or two dedicated D&E modellers (we have three now) to help build the layout.

 

The layout will be a roundy roundy with an overall size of about 25ft x 10ft with a 14 road fiddle yard and a 15ft scenic section - and scope to expand if the project really takes off!

 

And the REALLY good news is that the fiddle yard and end curves already exist ( Our club's OO/HO common fiddle yard ) so all we need to build is the 15ft scenic section.

 

Why not come to our Open Day on July 23rd and meet the team?

June 2016 update..................

 

We are having a D&E static display at our forthcoming Open Day on July 23rd ..... see www.tdmrc.org.uk

 

But we have no portable D&E layout to display from within our current membership.

 

We are looking to invite someone with a small D&E layout (10ft x 2ft?) to come along to help promote D&E modelling in general and D&E modeliing within TDMRC in particular.

 

Could that person be you?  Could you bring along a small D&E working layout on July 23rd? Please PM me if you can help.

 

Thanks

Great news!!

 

We have invited a guest D&E layout to our Open Day on July 23rd - Whitecross Street - John Baggaley's OO 1970's exhibition layout.

 

Here are a couple of photos

The embryonic Twickenham MRC D&E group have now prepared detailed plans for three possible scenic options for a new layout. The new project will make use of the club's existing 14 road OO/HO common fiddle yard, so once started we should have a fully working layout in double quick time!

 

You can read more about our club and our open day at www.tdmrc.org.uk

 

See you on the 23rd!

Twickenham MRC started a new D&E layout to show commitment to D&E modelling and the club's new OO gauge D&E layout is proving a great success and has attracted new members.

 

You can judge for yourself when our new D&E layout, EASTGATE, is shown to the public (as a work in progress) for the first time at our OPEN DAY on Saturday July 22nd.

 

See www.tdmrc.org.uk for details of our OPEN DAY.
