Just a reminder that the Wigan Finescale Show is in 4 weeks time.
You will find the 009 contingent in the smaller hall at the end of the centre island.
The Publicity Stand should have some Society kits including the RNAD brake van.
Come and join us and have a brew.

There will be a large amount of Flieshmann N Gauge locos (mostly boxed as nearly new) along with a large amount of coaches, wagons, buildings etc.
Some of these chassis would make superb 009 locos and 09 similar to Ravenglass etc.
See them on the Wigan Finescale Sales Stand.

I suspect that your modelling colleague from Leeds may be bringing his piggy bank along!

Well after a very successful Great & Small event at Dinas, the circus moves on to the Wigan Finescale Show, on the first weekend of October.
Members took their chance of getting hold of the Society kits that were on offer.
So if you missed out, you have another opportunity at Wigan.
The Publicity Stand will have a selection of kits on offer.
The stand and layouts will be in the smaller hall, so do come along and say hello.
Stan.
If you missed seeing John Woodens layout Underhill at the Great & Small Event, then get down to Wigan and see it in the flesh.
As previously mentional, the 009 Stand & layouts will be in the smaller Hall at one end of the island section.
Bill will be there to relieve you of your cash, so you can get yours hands on some of the Society kits.
Come and say hello and have a chat, we may even fix you up with a brew.

The advanced ticket sales has now ceased for the Wigan Show this coming weekend.
But you can still pay at the door and the admission includes the show programme.
The 009 Layouts and Publicity Stand will be in the smaller hall, so do come along and say hello.
Remember the stand will have some Society kits for you to purchase.
See you there.

We are keeping our fingers crossed that some Traders will have available the New Peco tipper wagons at the show.
Another good reason to visit the Wigan Finescale Show this coming weekend.
