OLNEY
Model Railway Club
It has been a little while since the last report, so a review of this years activities so far is needed.
The period immediately after Christmas saw the expected increase in new models being brought to the club evenings for inspection and to get an extended run on the test tracks. At the recent AGM Alan resigned as chairman and Ken was duly elected to take his place. Ken is a very experienced modeller and a long standing member of the club. All other members of the committee were returned unopposed, yet again an indication of the members satisfaction with progress in the club over the previous twelve months. The plan of the layout for Olney Station aroused considerable interest at the last club exhibition. As has been noted before, bringing the layout to fruition will be a long process involving a high level of commitment from the members. A decision was taken at the AGM, after long discussion, to start with the three sections of the baseboard needed for the actual station area. These will be brought to a high level
of detail with track and buildings before work starts on the surrounding sections. It is expected that this will be ready for inspection at the next club exhibition in September. Several members felt that their soldering skills needed improving so that the large number of points needed could be made by the members rather than buying proprietary track. The photographs show members watching demonstrations by some of the more experienced members of soldering skills
The club membership is still increasing but we are seeking more new members of any level of skill and experience, from beginners to experts, to assist in building the layouts or just to run their trains on a much larger track than most people have available at home.
The club meets every Thursday from 7:30 in the permanent club room behind the Carlton Club. Members have a wide range of interests from live steam models to n gauge. Just come along and join in or phone 01234 241686 for more details.
