Meeting on 7th September

A report on the meeting.

About a dozen members attended the Special General Meeting when Peter Cox was confirmed as the new Chairman.

Various members then talked about models they had finished or were still working on. Many gauges were included.  Stephen Duffell and Tim Lewis talked about their P4 locos and wagons.  Michael Glover showed us his latest G scale Madrid tram.  Ian Payne is modifying a VW camper van to be a G scale track maintenance vehicle and also had a 2mm model based on Abingdon station.  Peter Cox was seeking some help with his HO trees and Peter Starkey is progressing well with his early diesel shunter in Gauge 1.  At the other end of the scales, Dave Gotliffe demonstrated his latest Z gauge Swiss train.  I represented the narrow gauge with a couple of 16mm scale locos.  Covering 2mm to 1/12 scale, Andrew Vaughan rounded off the evening with some of his latest etched models including a very impressive 4mm scale pylon.
