March 19 Meet at the Lambak Garden Railway

by

For once we enjoyed beautiful sunshine for our meeting at the Lambak Garden Railway on the last Saturday of March. As well as a selection of visiting 16mm scale trains running on this 32mm gauge line, there was a display of beautiful 7/8ths models. Not to mention some wonderful finger food, cakes and biscuits and plenty of tea and coffee!

Too much booze (and perhaps some uneven track) caused the driver of this 7/8ths model to wobble alarmingly

In addition to all the running on the Lambak, we had an impressive static display of 7/8ths models and figures, some from Model Earth with extra detailing, some scratch built.
