The Railway Channel - Issue 10

The Club visits Chelmsford and brings you layouts set to music - and we discover what a trip to the dentist can do for you? Intrigued? Find out more in our two part special of this dynamic and forward thinking Essex club.


Hidden Treasure is a real gem. Stephen Bazire is a talented man who not only works as a lecturer but plays in a band and, luckily for us, has a healthy interest in railways - more specifically the Southwold Railway. Stephen has recreated the whole of the line in his Norfolk back garden and we not only get a grand tour but also see rare footage of the real Southwold Railway shortly before its demise.


Mark Found headed back towards his birthplace of Lancashire and was a guest of the Southport MRC's annual exhibition. There are some great layouts on show in an ideal venue with plenty of natural light - and don't miss the first outing of Peter Thomas' Eaton Gomery.


The feature in this issue is a look at the East Anglian Railway Museum - a treasure of a place for this with a taste for the Great Eastern. Luckily for the Railway Channel cameras the line's J7 was poorly and so a J15 from the North Norfolk was drafted in for duties. Join TRC as they fight for a place on the footplate and find out more about this backwater museum in Essex.
