Andy Y Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 High Wycombe and District Model Railway Society holds open day at its clubrooms on Saturday 21st May 2016. The High Wycombe and District Model Railway Society is holding an open day at their town centre located club rooms on Saturday 21st May. The large clubrooms, in excess of 4000 sq ft houses 9 permanently set up Society layouts in a variety of scales and genres including both British and North American outlines and most will be operating on the day. These layouts include Hinton Parva (00), Cane Street (00), Prospect Point (H0), Prospect Valley (H0), Cariboo (H0), Quincey and Cedar Creek (0n30), Itldo (0); and a number under construction such as Oxford (00), and Leigh Quay (0). In addition facilities include a large test track in N, 12mm, 00/H0 and 0 Gauges, an extensive workshop and a kitchen / refreshment area. Also for the open day a number of the Society’s own members layouts will be set up and operating. The Society’s club rooms will be open between 10am and 4pm, there is small entry donation of £2 per person that includes light refreshments, access to the test track and a chance to see behind the scenes on the Society’s and visiting layouts. The Society’s Chairman, Mike Carter explains: “We look forward to welcoming fellow railway modellers to our Society’s open day, that with the number of operational layouts present will be like attending a small model railway exhibition, but hands on and in very relaxed surroundings.” Personally I can attest that it'll be £2 well spent, a great club with great facilities and some darned good layouts. Quite a few members here on RMweb too. I shall let one of them post up directions and/or a map in due course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
