HILLINGDON RAILWAY MODELLERS OPEN DAY
@ Yiewsley Baptist ChurchColham Avenue, Yiewsley, Middx UB7 8HF

Attended the first of this years open days and while most of the regular members were in attendance it doesn't appear to have brought in any "new" faces yet. Though the OO was also up and that seemed quite busy which is a good sign as I still believe that is their best opportunity to swell numbers as necessary to keep the costs covered. This will allow the O Gauge side to keep going in the short term. 

The O gauge layout was up, a few pictures here though not a lot running ... I believe the best business was done by the tea and bacon roll service (which I can confirm was excellent value). 

Visit my site www.bigtedonline.com and find more photo's and video clips from the event, includes a most interesting item called a "Shay" used on the logging railroads of North America, uniquely driven by a corkscrew driveshaft it looked amazing close up.


Had to leave early, but lets see how things change between now and the next open day due in April.
