00n3 Special Interest Group. Report for meeting 11/11/21.
Seven 009 members came together for the first meeting of this S.I.G. Julian greeted us at the beginning and wished the group well.
Alan Gee gave a power point presentation on his twenty years of modelling the Irish Narrow gauge in 00n3 scale. He illustrated this with photographs of his four layouts built over this period, Donegal, Schull, Burtonport, and Ballyshannon.
Alan's Burtonport layout now on permanent static display in the Saint Columba's Community Centre in Burtonport
Paul Titmuss updated the group on some recent progress with models from Model Engine Works in 00n3.
The Kitson tram loco is a model of the ones that ran on the Portstewart Tramway in the north of Ireland.
There was much discussion on modelling the 3' including a proposed new loco model from Model Engine Works.
The next meeting will be held on Thursday December 2nd at 8.00pm you are all welcome to attend.
