The Trent Valley Area Group of the 7mm Narrow Gauge Association are holding a 'Members' Day' at Mickleover Community Centre on Saturday 17th January. The highlight will be our 48ft long On16.5 layout Henmore - we have to hire the Community Centre to set it up as the layout is so big. Also there should be a couple of much smaller layouts as well.
Phil Traxson from Port Wynnstay Models will be demonstrating resin casting (although he seems to spend most of the time answering questions). Paul Martin from EDM Models will have his DCC test track available (16.5mm and 9mm) for anyone to have a go but again most of the time gets taken up with questions. There will also be a modelling demonstration using plasticard to build O gauge wagons and trams
Port Wynnstay will have their full range of both narrow and standard gauge stock available along with other kits and architectural items for buildings. EDM stock the full range of Bachmann On30, as well as stock from many other US suppliers such as Stoney Creek, Banta, PSC and other hard to get items from USA. Paul stocks DCC from Lenz, NCE and Soundtraxx. The new On30 Annual is now available
The 7mm NGA Sales stand will be there with a range of modelling goods including Peco NG stock and Kadee couplings, Publications and Second Hand Sales. Howard Martin will have his Avalon O9 range for sale.
Full details are available on the EDM web site (thanks Paul) complete with public transport information and maps. You can also see photos of the Henmore layout and the previous event to see what to expect. A 'voluntary donation' of £3 is suggested to cover the cost of the hall. All welcome (we need the money )
