| December 2001:
Trains have yet to move on
Chilcompton
but we know the point motors work! However the scenic work is still progressing
very well with all the buildings (which have all been scratch built) virtually
finished. |
|
| November 2001: We are still waiting to see a train move
on Chilcompton. However the scenic work is
progressing very well. The Club is confident that we will meet the February
deadline for Chilcompton's first public showing at the Biggleswade model railway
exhibition. |
|
| October 2001:
After a long wait our Chairman started to
wire up our new Chilcompton layout and confidently
reckoned it will be completed by the end of the month. |
|
| September 2001: The Club breaks new ground and travels
the furthest east it has ever gone when our Gorcott
layout is exhibited at the Ipswich Model Railway Show. |
|
| July 2001: There was a mad panic at Club on Tuesday
24th July when John Harris managed to set the fire alarm off with the smoke from
his soldering iron in the club rooms. Fortunately we found out how to switch the
system off and the fire brigade didn't have attend a false alarm! |
|
| June 2001: The Club's Annual General Meeting provided
few surprises and the Committee where re-elected on block for a further
twelve months. |
|
| May 2001: The Club staged the 22nd Redditch Model
Railway Exhibition over the weekend of the 12th and 13th May. Despite the hot
weather and the access problems in the town centre due to the major
reconstruction works to the Kingfisher Shopping Centre the attendance remained
the same as the previous year. |
|
| March 2001: After a number of months of uncertainty the
Club is told that it can stay in it's current Club Rooms after a change in
landlord |
|
| February 2001: A number of the Club members visited the
BRM Doncaster Exhibition. The members hired a minibus to transport them to and
from the show. The journey home was however longer than expected as the minibus
broke down within 10 miles of Redditch! Track laying starts on the Chilcompton
layout |
