Last post by cnw6847 - April 26, 2026, 08:28Our show is on Saturday.
We have managed to fit DoubleM Models in who will be attending for the first time with a range of 3D printed loco bodies and rolling stock in various scales.
Ducket models also attending for the first time and Neville will be bringing his N drive productions stand down in an epic journey from Scotland again.

Locomotives / Weathering
Last post by Andy Lowman - April 24, 2026, 16:59Does anyone happen to know anyone who is a dab hand at weathering locos? It's not really my forte and was hoping that there may be someone 'local' to whom I could deliver a few locos (rather than having to send them miles up country!) and pay them for their work. 'Local' means I'm Devon/Cornwall border so anywhere that's a reasonable distance say within 30-45 mins driving. Thanks.

Last post by Tim Couling - April 23, 2026, 18:15Quote from: S Hale on April 18, 2026, 08:14I'm hoping to come to this but looking at the website parking bothers me as I have limited walking distance. Could you please tell me if there is likely to be any blue badge parking on site ? Thank you.
Hi,
There are marked disabled/blue badge parking bays on site. There are some situated immediately in front of you as you turn into the college site from Chestnut Avenue, there are others around the college. All are within a short walk to the exhibition entrance.

The meeting started with a conversation on getting new T Shirts with our logo printed.
Dates for the next 4 months meetings and chair persons agreed, led by Graeme.
Dave Chapman - showed us his recent 3D printed loco from Fourdees, with a nameplate from Light Railway Stores.
Tom - The module builders had their first Zoom meeting last week, at which was decided they had too many plugs on the modules and are looking at reducing them and also installing transformers for the lights and accessories. The documentation will also be updated.
Martyn - is now dabbling with MERG modules including a command module.
Ian - is working on his single module, Whitekirk and Tyninghame, and showed us the progress he has made.
Hugh - has ordered the board for his first module and is also looking to continue working on his layout.
Ron - is planning to continue the work on his airfield layout and has purchased some working point levers.
Graeme - showed us the progress he has made on his Pop Up Models laser cut cottage.
Chris - is thinking about a Saxon module and is currently working on the sea wall on his layout.
David Duff - visited the Hornby Collectors club at Kirriemuir.
Rik - Looking at purchasing a turntable to fit onto his module so he could also use it as a stand alone layout. He also purchased some 3D prints from E-Bay.
Our next Meeting will be on Wednesday 6th May and will be chaired by Graeme.
Our next confirmed exhibitions will be:-
St Andrews Model Railway Exhibition at St. Andrews Town Hall, Queen's Gardens St. Andrews on the 15th/16th August where we will be exhibiting our working diorama Cruive Yard.

Last post by Hugh Norwood - April 22, 2026, 08:19It wouldn't hurt to drop a line to the railway to enquire if they might have some sound files they might let you have - or know of someone who can help?

Last post by Terry Metcalfe - April 21, 2026, 21:34Thanks. I'll see what I can find. You are right it is a Cummins. But what ever else uses that engine will need some research.
