Modelling Buildings in Plastikard  with Geoff Kent 

Geoff will be trying to unravel some of the myths and mysteries around this most user-friendly modelling material using some of the buildings from Black Lion Crossing and Blakeney in illustration, together with a practical demonstration of the techniques that he has employed over the last forty years or more.  

Incidentally, Black Lion is due to be featured in the next two issues of Model Railway Journal, so people who haven't seen any of my efforts can get a foretaste of the sort of thing I expect to be talking about.  And Black Lion will itself be at York exhibition over the Easter weekend for anyone to see in the flesh, as it were.

Summer evening visit to Mike Lambourne's garden railway at Lower Frankton. 

This unique railway is built on the wall of a 200 year old dry dock next to the locks where the Montgomery Canal meets the Llangollen Canal.  It is beautifully landscaped with slate and includes lots of Mike's own figures.  The lock is where  "Cressy", the narrow boat featured in "NARROW BOAT" by L.T.C. Rolt , was converted for leisure use.   

We suggest you share lifts as much as possible as parking is a bit tricky!  More information nearer the date.
