NEAG December 2024 meeting

Storm Darragh failed to put a stop to today's group meeting, with a slightly depleted thirteen of us braving the wind and rain for our annual Christmas "show and tell". Here is a selection of photos for those who missed it.


Graham explains his scheme to model Hexham in the 1980s – the track plan features an impressive number of sidings:


John had a selection of coaches and two LMS loco projects on display:

I brought a selection of recent Highland Railway wagons and coaches (in varying stages of completeness), and my "Small Ben" 4-4-0 which almost runs:

New recruit Richard is building a rather nice model of Guisborough. The stonework is fantastic although this photo doesn't do it justice:

Finally, Mick brought some of his colliery wagons, recently finished by Chris with home-printed transfers:

He also showed a set of etches for colliery headgear (courtesy of Alex Duckworth), and there was some discussion of how to make the wheels turn:

The main tea eluded photography. However, one member came only for the tea and was disappointed to be allowed only some crumbs:
