Meetings in Cumbria for newbies

[Chris Wright]

Been on the forum a little while now. Videos on my Utube channel but my question is are there any members in Cumbria, UK? If so could they make themselves known and maybe we can have meets at each others tracks occasionally. You can learn so much this way.

Have you looked into the GSS (G Scale Society) group for your area, Chris? They most likely have a good network already established.....

I already looked Jon and nothing for Cumbria but thanks for that anyway.

Hello Chris I'm from County Durham so not too far away.
I haven't got a railway yet just starting to get the pieces together to build one.
What's your YouTube channel I'd love to have a look at your railway

Cumbria is in the NW GScale area. We have a few Cumbrian members. Our meetings are the 3rd Saturday in the month at St Alban's Church Hall in Altrincham.
The next will be 19th November 10am-2 pm. Entrance £2.50, bring stock to run if you wish. Dealers usally in attendance and drinks pies and pasties available.

Thank you for that but I was hoping for others to be nearer. Altrincham is almost 2 hours from north Cumbria. I will politely pass on that, sorry. Just hope more in Cumbria could be interested. Cumbria is bad enough getting around without going further afield.

PS I am organising the first model rail show at Rheged Exhibition centre March 2017 and hope to have G scale for 2018. That is the plan.

The portable layout Coal Valley Mining might be available although at present we are only taking bookings for 2017.
