If you are interested in joining please come along to one of our club nights on
either a Tuesday or Thursday evening from 19:30. Membership is in the mid twenties and we are always happy to welcome visitors and potential new members. We have access to the clubroom 7 days a week but our main club nights are Tuesdays & Thursdays 19.30 to 22.00 approx. Unfortunately we no longer have any members spe

cialising in ‘0’ gauge and the permanent ‘0’ gauge layout in the clubroom has been removed to allow space for layouts under construction. The current 'N' gauge layout is called 'Dudley Frey', after a member who sadly passed away. It is a circuit 16 feet long and 3 feet wide with 4 running roads. Automatic light signals are installed and work is progressing on an extening the layout. Our 'OO' gauge layout is called Tedburn St Mary which is also 16 feet long. Some might say it a bit ‘long in the tooth’ but it is still receiving invitations to exhibition and in November we will be taking it to ‘Warley’. Another ‘00’ layout is Silverbury which just has its scenic's to complete before it too can join the exhibition circuit. We also have an 0-16.5 layout being built. Social events have included the Annual Dinner in January, a Bar-B-Que during the Summer and visits to places of interest such as the Daily Mirror printing works, we also went to the Warley Exhibition last November. Last year one of our younger members started a club magazine, ‘That There Magazine’, which is very interesting. Click on the link and read it for your self.

Silverbury as you can see is a tight fit into our clubhouse! The layout is out at Spalding and the NEC later this year -each time we have gone out the scenics have changed slightly - Last time we had a Post office depot instead of a through shed - Now we have added a DMU platform instead of one of the DMU sidings... I understand that most of the signalling is up and working too.

The viaduct!

Paperwork landed in my inbox yesterday for the NEC exhibition - where we will be exhibiting Silverbury in the round format.
I asked members for some photos just so there is a taster for what people might expect to see...
