Hinckley Methodist Church Xmas Craft Fayre



SATURDAY 6th December 10:00 – 12:00ish, layouts perhaps up till 14:00



FREE ADMISSION !!



A bit of an experiment, we’ve run our G layouts before when a craft fayre has been held, but we didn’t publicise it that well. The craft fayre will feature hand made Christmas cards, decorations, child;s clothes plus bric-a-brac.



Two G gauge group layouts will be on display,. Please note, some steps to stage for access for the larger layout. Also, our 12 x 4 ft ‘under construction’ OO layout will be running.



You’re welcome to bring anything to OO or G run, analogue or digital, the OO is only analogue at the moment





Sales table of pre-owned OO, mostly from before 2000. Plenty of Peco OO track and points. Also sales of late GSS member’s LGB RhB items, locos, coaches and rolling stock. Track probably next year once the layout has been lifted.



Light Refreshments available at a small charge

Had a test setup today of Dow Bridge JunKtion. No pretty pretty, just the bare bones. Works well, once I had got my red and blue wires the right way round.

 

[Brixham]

We test ran some stuff that is from a deceased members estate.



After taking the picture below...the repainted into blue DFB brake van was transferred to a fellow members stock


Leaving just these 2 fellows. They are repainted santa fe toy train vans.

The OO was also tested, not a Triang or Hornby Flying Scotsman, but Trix by lilliput. Or is it the other way round!?

Also seen under test, a sound fitted Piko railcar pair. It doesn't like the reverse R1 curves, especially when propelling the trailer car.

I hope that you have a successful event with plenty of visitors.

Trip but can’t remember if the Lilliput thing was involved. From a different century!

Setup today for tomorrow went well.
Dow Bridge on the stage....usually left setup ready to go....

Dow Bridge JunKtion.....as we set this up only 6 days ago, it went together quite speedily...


Johnson Harbour almost finished...just a quick test run...




And the OO

 

[Brixham]

Downstairs in the main hall...near the catering...will be several stalls with 'craft fayre' goods for sale. I know there will be handmade Christmas cards..

Neither. Trix is the DC version of Märklin AC products, Liliput is owned by Bachmann.
