KNOWN ALL OVER THE WORLD?
The club has gained a mention in the American “0 Scale Trains” magazine for Sept/Oct
In over four column inches, our 50th birthday, our open day and the club’s previous involvement of members in the early days of the Gauge 0 Guild all gets a mention.
Considering I included in the covering note to the editor “Greetings to our colonies” it was surprising we got a mention!.
