Just realised this was in the wrong week on the calendar. Oops! Sorry all!
At our Christmas club meeting last Thursday, we decided that a really good way to celebrate Christmas and New Year would be to hold an informal open afternoon/running session to give anyone who has a couple of hours free a chance to test run any new locos which may have arrived on a sleigh a few days previously!
The aim is to have at least two out of our three exhibition layouts up and running (probably Shoreditch in N, and either Wotton in 00, or Rue Sidi Brahim in HO) in the downstairs room at the Chapel, which will allow visitors to run any 00 and N gauge stock that they may like to bring along.
Shoreditch 2mm scale
Rue Sidi brahim 3.5mm scale
Wotton 4mm scale (although thanks to the tosspot who rear-ended my car my L49 won't be available for a while!)
There is also a possibility that Sumatra Road will be on show as it will be en route from storage to it's new home, and may well call in for the afternoon!
Finally, although not truly on display, visitors who can manage the stairs are invited to come and have a look around the clubroom, and see Mount Pleasant and South Bromley.
It is not going to be a flashy affair, just an excuse for a few of us to get together, drink tea, and run some trains. All visitors will be made very welcome.
Hope to see you there!
