Every second Thursday from 7pm, we have a railway related evening at The Gas Cupboard. These sessions are free and all are welcome, irrespective of age, ability or experience.
We have covered and continue to cover, various topics including DCC intro, scenery, wiring, soldering, DCC chip fitting, track laying etc.
Phone, email or visit us in the shop if you would like more info. If you have a subject that we haven’t covered yet, or you missed, let us know and we will see what we can do.
We also have 'guest' layouts and speakers. We've seen Steve Jones’ Westbury Cement Works; Jerry’s impressive 2mm finescale ‘Highbury Colliery’ and an insight into The History of Pickfords.
In 2009 we have plans for further guest layouts and guest speakers, as well as practical subjects. Keep an eye on the website for details.
