With the model railway exhibition circuit starting to show signs of emerging from its enforced hibernation I have updated the shows page. However with Brettell road undergoing its rebuild and one last show for Birmingham Moor Street I will admit it’s somewhat slim pickings at the moment. Heres a link.

Theres no Scaleforum this year but what there is instead is a set of smaller events from some of the area groups. For a full list click here.
The one I will be attending is this one

North Norfolk Area Group Event 25th September 2021
The Copeman Centre, Hall Street, BRISTON NR24 2LG
https://www.thecopemancentre.org.uk/
Opening times: 10:00 – 16:00. Admission free.
Light refreshments will be available and for this venue there is no need to pre-book.
The following layouts will be present:
North Elmham – Currently under construction by the North Norfolk Area Group, this layout will depict the station on the Wells next the Sea branch with its grain and milk traffic giving some variety from the norm. The layout will be set in the late 50s/early 60s period.
Obbekaer – A Danish independent line connecting Rebe, Gram and Vojens in South Jutland from Geraint Hughes set in the mid 50s. The Model is built to P87 standards.
Wheal Elizabeth – The end of a Cornish China Clay branch set in the 1970s/early 80s. from Jeremy Good.
We will also have the North Norfolk Area Group’s test track available for those who want to give their stock the chance to stretch its legs.
We will have six demonstrations, which are:
Modelling road vehicles – Jim Smith-Wright
Air-braked wagons – Phil Eames
Etched brass carriage construction – Tony Brenchley
Kit-bashing plastic coach kits – Alan Hall
Turnouts with a difference, an approach to building the inter-laced variety – John Geggie
Cavelex Models – will be showing production models and their latest samples for visitors to examine and will be very happy to discuss any aspect of their products

Hope to see some of you there.
