Hello Everyone,

Chesham Model Railway Club recently had it's show on March 3rd and thank you to anyone here who came. (I overheard at least 1 person mention they saw the advert on here!)

We meet on Monday nights at the White Hill Centre in Chesham from 8pm - 10pm, visitors are always welcome and on running nights visitors can bring on trains to run.

Dates for these will be posted on website and Facebook page.

We currently have 3 Club Layouts:

OO Gauge tail chaser Higham Bridge

O Gauge Gunnistock

N Gauge Modern Image Thames Park

Some pictures and further information can be found on the website and recently launched Facebook page

That looks great. Where did you get the back scene from?

They were, (in my ownership) just a couple of Gaugemaster stick on backscenes. 1x Houses and 2x Clouds if I remember correctly. They fitted almost to perfection!

Hopefully Nigel can update us with any progress since his acquisition

The most recent development is a change of owner.

 

I was lucky enough to bid successfully for the layout on a well known auction website back in the summer.  Once the layout gets over to the clubroom I'm hoping to enlist some help from the electrical gurus in order to put in more feeds and sections along with servos for the points and a full control panel.  I aim to get this done in time for our open day next July.

 

On the rolling stock front I'm building some Network Rail bits to put alongside the workers and van as shown in post #55.  I'm also building an RHTT, from a 3d printed kit, and have found some articulated tanker lorries which I'm going to say contain water to top-up the RHTT tanks.  I might try to make a Sandite MPV if I get brave one day.

 

I'll try to post some photos but don't hold your breath.

Good to hear plans are on the way Nigel, looking forward to seeing the developments! The Network rail plans sound very good. Keep us posted!

I've been away from the forum waaaay too long it seems!

Sadly been preoccupied with motor racing the past few months, sadly no major changes recently, I've a few things to look at for the winter months including a larger fiddle yard to store more stock.

Hopefully with long enough roads to incorporate my recently finished Chiltern MK3's and NMT. (Which currently requires some power cars...)

It maybe a bit of a squeeze getting them in the station though...

Time for another very overdue update on Parys Road.

The layout is due out at our local exhibition next Sunday (8th) so some last minute panic preparations to do!

Again sorry for the sub quality pictures.

A few things have changed since last time. Most obvious is the new backscene creating a suburban/residential feel to the terminus.

The station signs have lost the Northern look and replaced with a generic region free look so I'm not restricting myself to one area.

The chaos on the overbridge has turned into an argument between a HGV driver and the Fiat 500 owner. The Police have been called in before a punch up ensues...

Hopefully I can get some better quality pictures at the show complete with rolling stock.

The track now just needs a good clean and we're ready to rock and roll!

Hello everyone,

Very overdue first post here, I'm the new owner of Parys Road and after many weeks of doing nothing with it I finally took it out from under it's cover in the garage to have a play with it.

Here a few pics as it currently is. Little has changed since acquiring from Matt. Sorry the picture quality isn't that brilliant!

Chaos on the overbridge! Sat-navs and HGV's don't always mix...

My latest treat, this scratch built Structure gauging set acquired from ebay. Already a bit out of date now that ex DBSO's are being used. Still it looks the part.

Some workers have arrived but little is available to do!

I on the other hand have lots to do, a few tags of graffiti are a possibility as well as adding signs to the station.

Any ideas and comments are most welcome! I shall post more pictures in time.
