TEAMYAKIMA Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 This might be something I would be interested in if it is still happening? Simon 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? TDMRC Open Day July 23rd (10am - 4.30pm) Kerswell Hall, Wills Cres, Hounslow TW3 2JF FREE entry, but donations welcome.

TEAMYAKIMA Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEAMYAKIMA Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 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! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
