Ian Wood, a life-long member of the Model Railway Club and Talyllyn Railway sadly passed away on 20th December 2022. He ran the Talyllyn Midlands area stall visiting steam rallies and railway exhibitions for many years with his daughter Keren. As an MRC member, he was an active member on the MRC's original Longridge Brampton Sands and Calshot Railway in the 1960s, and on the New Annington layout in the 1980s. He also served on the MRC's committee a number of times.

 

RIP Ian.

Sorry to hear this, Ian was a supporter of the TR in Wales, and the Leighton Buzzard narrow gauge line, near where he and his family lived. He commuted to his London job, based in one of the then most exciting office locations, the GPO Tower (showing my age, read Telecom Tower), where he worked for GPO/BT supply admin. Via his connections in the MRC, he did occasionally join us operating Frank Dyer's Borchester in Palmer's Green.
