- We are now the proud possessors of three layouts, as well as a good deal of locos, wagons, track,and accessories, many of which have been kindly donated to the club. The three layouts comprise of one OO gauge DCC layout, one OO gauge DC layout, and one N gauge DC layout. These are enthusiastically being brought into full working order and updated where necessary, by the skills of the more technically minded members of the club. As they become fully operational we shall produce short videos, and add theirlinks to this web page. So watch this space!!
- Already, members who are new to model railway engineering, are being mentored by the more experienced members. Recently, we stripped down a Dapol track cleaning machine, in order to discover a fault which caused it to work intermittently. We learnt that perseverance must be a modeller's watchword, particularly when working with such small components.
- Our DCC layout is now controlled by Traincontroller software, which is proving to be quite a test for our well-used brains!
- Here is the link to a short "Driver's Eye View" video of our layouts :-
