Kent Area Group?

[invercloy]

Another good meeting last night.  3 members who hadn't been before.

Here are some photos from the evening.

Jim Paulger's Wren on an Arnold chassis that he built whilst at school:


Charlie Insley's 'Cranbrook End' test track and collection of 'stuff':


Charlie's Golden Arrow Sharpie tram conversion:


If anyone is interested in attending drop me a PM, our next meeting is on the 11th June in Maidstone.

Excellent stuff Tom! The Kent Group seems to have got itself off to a very good start and I look forward to seeing further reports of its progress. Very good but tantalising set of pix giving just a snippet of a taster of the goodies that were there to see!

Spotted evidence that Cornelius paid a visit, little tiny locos are not normally my own "thing" but I was very impressed by Jim Paulger's Wren - would like to see more of that; and would also like to know much more about Charlie's Cranbrook End "test track" - come on Charlie, article required.

Finally - who owns/built the little diesel loco in the foreground of the group photo? The photo is too tiny to make much out, but my immediate reaction was that it is a repainted Egger - confirm or reveal the answer?

Well done

Mick

Mick,

Thanks for the encouragement.  What's also pleasing is that there's about 5 of us who are under 40.

Cornelius did indeed pay a visit, spotted the Landie I guess?

I only have that photo of Jim's Wren, but I will ask him to bring it along next time to get some more photos of it.

The little diesel at the front is indeed an Egger loco, it's mine and was given to me by Barry Parks of Cambrian Models fame.

Tom.
