Title: WRANGOONS meeting 18 January 25
Post by: Hugh Norwood on January 19, 2025, 20:39
WRANGOONS - the group formerly known as LAMPOONS

Our first meeting in the new year was also at a new venue - and what a nice one, too! At Thackley Methodist Church on the outskirts of Bradford.

11 people attended, including some very welcome new faces.

Newcomer John M brought his layout Bryn Oriog, a lovely little (light in weight) two-sided layout:

Jonathan brought along his latest - a work in progress - Strathfair; a fusion of Highlands and Wales.

Philip's mobile canteen was paying a flying visit...

Kieran brought along his delightful table-top Tan-y-Manod.

and a small roundy in a box, that shows how much can be done in a confined space..

John V showed his progress in converting a Berne tram trailer into a model of the compressed air powered tram railmotor from Berne. Looking forward to seeing this running!

Newcomer John B brought along some very nicely finished coaches and steam tram engines from Fourdees. (Well, they looked finished to me, but John told me he's investigating how to apply lining!)

A good afternoon was had by all, and we look forward to meeting up again at Thackley on 1st March.
Many thanks to Ian Dobson for organising the venue and refreshments!
