RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted November 21, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 21, 2010 The N Gauge Society, is delighted to announce the production of its first "ready-to-place" model building. The model is being produced in association with Graham Farish "Scenecraft" and the subject chosen is St Ives Corn Exchange - the venue of the NGS 2011 Annual General Meeting. It will be supplied in a sturdy window box and include a pre-printed commemorative banner for the modeller to attach if desired. Appropriately, the model will be first available to those attending the AGM and will go on sale to other members afterward. It will retail at £18.50 - a price that compares well with other items in the Scenecraft range - and the NGS shop is accepting pre-orders accompanied by a £5 deposit. Only 750 models are being produced, and this particular building will not be rerun. It is hoped that, if successful, future AGMs may be marked in a similar way. Corn Exchanges are found across Britain and traditionally offered farmers and merchants a location to trade cereals and other general merchandise. During the last century, many were converted for use as municipal offices or for public entertainment. St Ives Corn Exchange was built in 1858 and is a fairly typical design. Although attractive and functional in its own right, and ideal for the collector, when positioned on the layout the model will offer an ideal centre-piece for any small or medium sized community. It will be approximately 55mm wide, 50mm deep and 75mm high. cheers Ben A. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
