The Flyer
Bury St Edmunds MRC ‘Meet the Modellers Day’
On Saturday 9th March 2019 we held
our ‘Meet the Modellers Day’ at Fornham
Saint Martin Village Hall on the outskirts
of Bury St. Edmunds.
Lots of club members were in
attendance, some of whom showed off
their railway modelling skills, including
DCC programming of locos, kit building
and electronic circuit building and repair.
Colin attracted interest demonstrating
his remarkable skill of scratch building
scale models of vehicles from thin plasti-
card (Hmm….perhaps a subject for a
future article!)
Two N Gauge exhibition layouts were
on show, the Club’s Peckston (ably
controlled by Stan, Phil, Tony and Bill)
and the two Simon’s ran Foxhollow
(owned by Simon Fox).
Frank and Barry of the Cobbolds Wharf
10
team brought along a section of this still
under construction S7 layout, along with
a short section of 0 Gauge test track
We had a higher footfall than last year’s
event due to more planning time and
better advertising on Facebook, the
club’s website, railway modelling forums
and the article published in the March
edition of this very magazine, ‘The Bury
Flyer’ which prompted several visitors to
come along.
It was especially pleasing to see the
several families who brought along their
children, some of whom were as young
as 3 year’s old.
A massive thank you to those who
attended. We hope you enjoyed what
you saw and your support is much
appreciated.
Our next Public event celebrating our
70th year since the club was formed will
be our annual exhibition on Saturday
28th September from 10am until 4pm at
Thurston Sixth, (Beyton Campus), Beyton,
near Bury St. Edmunds.
The Club meets weekly on Thursday
evenings. Further details about the Club
can be found on our websitewww.

any updates. Also, please have a look at

Edmunds Model Railway Club.
