There will be plenty of goodies on the sales tables all at competitive prices and we have just had a batch

of Kato 109 chassis delivered, again available to purchase on the day.

 

The show you how stands are there to solve many aspects of railway modelling ie track laying, wiring,

baseboard construction.  All you have to do is ask questions.

 

Come and spend a few hours with like minded NG modellers.

Really successful day with 54 members/visitors coming along, thats one short of our record number.

I’d echo Stan’s comment above - an enjoyable afternoon.  As a Group meeting rather than a more formal exhibition I find there’s plenty of time to talk in depth with those exhibiting and / or selling, as well as the general chat and catch-up.

 

For example, I was given a very helpful and comprehensive soldering tutorial by Allen from Worsley Works (as advertised by Stan in earlier posts).  It was the first time I’d picked up a soldering iron in over thirty years and the first time I’d tried soldering brass, so I came away both educated and encouraged it’s something I could tackle one day.  I’d assumed it was a skill that would be way beyond my level.

 

I also picked up some painting tips for some of the HOn30 kits I already have queued up from the 009 Society member who sold them to me a couple of meetings ago, and got some ideas for buildings and ballasting from one of the regular exhibitors who has an H0e layout.  All good stuff, and to be recommended.  Looking forward to the next meeting, Keith.

Great Layouts  in  009,  5.5mm  and  7mm  NG.

The show you how stands were kept busy and the sales stands were ticking over with cash and goods

changing hands.

A big thanks to the guys who helped in the kitchen and Mo for the excellent homemade cakes, which

went down well with the Cotthams pies and  M&S sausage rolls.

We look forward to doing it all again on  Saturday  21st  May  at  Corpus Christi Church Hall, Rainford WA11 8BY
