Monthly Club News
April 2024 : We
start this month with continued work on the rewiring of
our Arrowmouth layout and the continued work on scenery
and construction of building for our new Norgrove
layout.
March 2024 :
We started the month by staging the 51st
Redditch Model Railway Exhibition over the weekend of
the 2nd and 3rd March. Taking the brave decision to move the show from
September to March was vindicated in terms of the
increase in visitor numbers when compared with our shows in recent years. The exhibition also proved to be
successful for our trade support as well. We will
definitely be back on the 1st and 2nd March next year.
Back on club nights we are continuing to make building
for our new Norgrove layout and are starting the
rewiring of our Arrowmouth layout to make the operation
of it more flexible.
February 2024 :
We started the month with the continued
construction of a number of buildings for the Norgrove
layout. These include a block of flats, a cinema,
a memorial hall, a supermarket and a elevated
bridge for the dual carriageway road at the one end of
the layout. This month we also spent
preparing for our 2024 Show on the 2nd & 3rd March with
our layouts that were to be on show being tested and items being catalogued for our
club sales second hand stand.
January 2024: We
started the new year on the 1st January with a club
running session of the Temple Bridge layout. Back at club
nights we have
continued making the buildings for our Norgrove
layout. Towards the end of the month we started to make
some alterations to the track alignment on our generic
fiddle yard ready for its outing to the Model World
event in April with our Dagnell End layout. The changes
should improve the running of the fiddle yard and turn
the layouts that are attached to it.
