(This page was last updated January 2012}

At the November meeting, Brian Remnant showed some old British Transport films which were very interesting.  The December meeting saw a return visit from Colin Cox, who gave us some more of his memories of his experiences on Rhodesian Railways.  A fascinating evening.

The New Year's Day Track Meeting was washed out because of heavy rain but members congregated in the clubhouse for a natter and a cuppa!

Chris Molland came along to the first evening meeting of the year and showed members how 3D Animation Films were made.  A low attendance because of the weather but an enjoyable evening.

The Wednesday Gang still meet on a regular basis.  Work is progressing on the main track and by the end of the year, 43 new track panels (about two-thirds of the total) had been made and fixed to the concrete beams.  It is hoped to complete a large proportion of the rest in time for the Easter meeting.  The alterations to the garden railway are also complete with new tracks and sidings laid.

Our President, Bobby Jones, has been interviewed about his involvement with railways, full-size and miniature and also the RMMES, on the local radio station Romney Marsh FM.  You can hear a recording of the interview if you click here (might take a minute to load).


DUE TO REBUILDING THE MAIN TRACK, THE LINE WILL BE
OUT OF USE UNTIL EASTER.
