Recommended Posts

Good Afternoon, 

 

Following on from the success of our last open day we have penned in the date of 29th December for our Christmas open day :O I know it's too soon to be talking about Christmas. 

 

As with all the open days which have gone before it is a bring your own stock and play trains affair. An excuse for a few hours away from family engagements. 

 

The timings are from Midday until around 4 and as always there shall be refreshments available.

 

I shall upload the photos from the last open day soon and post them.

Good Afternoon, 

 

We are back from another very enjoyable open day operating at the club. The O gauge ran well and there were as always a few visiting locos with a few members bring their own locos down. I never got the opportunity to take many photos and have replied on ones collected from the other members. 

 

There was plenty of modern traction running around along with the regulars. A recently completed GSWR 0-6-2 Class 45 on it's first outing looked very well on the layout. 

 

IT also gave us an chance to show off the new engine shed developments, attached are a few photos. This is our current Thursday evening project for the new year.

As always it has been a while since my last update. There has not been a great amount of progress with the layout, it is very much slow and steady wins the race now. A few of us are doing a lot more train running but the modelling does suffer from this. Our Monday club conducting most of the scenic work on the layout. 

 

There has been some progress with the engine shed area of the model, we are now going to include a turntable, work on this shall be chipped away on a Thursday evening. 

 

The main work has been on the signalling for the layout, for simplicity we have decided to install colour light signals. One is already in place at the end of the inner platforms. 

 

In other news we have gained a few more members which is always good to have, the more the merrier as always and they bring their own modelling expertise into the club.

Good Morning All, 

 

A little bit of a late update. As always things are moving down the club. We have had the boards donated to us for making the fiddle yard which shall make operating the platform a lot easier. 

 

We have our running night coming up this Friday followed by an open day on the Sunday. The open day is open to all of those not at the Hornby model railway exhibition. As always feel free to bring your own 0 gauge stock to run. We operate both on DCC  & DC. 

 

Refreshments available. 

 

The open day shall be from 12pm - 4pm. 

 

Location; our club rooms in Alsager just off Moorhouse Avenue. ST7 2DH.

Many Thanks
