Model Railway Forum

Twickenham & District MRC has had more great publicity in Model Rail 285.

There is a two page article on how the club is reaching out and attracting new members even during the Covid lockdown.

We are offering a FREE trial membership until we can fully re-open the clubroom which includes a subscription to our new monthly newsletter/magazine.

At the end of the free trial period we will hold a special OPEN EVENING for anyone who has taken up the offer and so far over TWENTY people have taken up the offer and two have already converted that free trial into a paid membership - and one of those lives in NORWAY!

If you would like to take up our free trial membership and receive all back issues of our new club magazine please email our chairman on chairman.tdmrc@gmail.com

There will be several club layouts up and running ..............

ADDISON ROAD (KENSINGTON OLYMPIA) This historically accurate 'O' gauge layout is well known on the exhibition circuit and is by far our most ambitious layout so far ...

BATTY MOOR - our well-known 'N' gauge layout

EASTGATE - our diesel era 'OO' gauge layout (We can't call it modern era any more!)

NORTHWICK - steam era 'OO' gauge terminus layout

plus static displays of two layouts which are still under construction in OO and 'G'

plus a sales stand and refreshmnets

We hope to see many of you at our Open Day on July 30th

It's FREE, but donations welcome!



As in previous year, our members will be on hand to discuss the layouts on show - in this photo it is our 7mm layout, ADDISON ROAD.

Twickenham & District MRC are pleased to announce some early details of their 2024 annual Open Day to be held on July 27th (10.00 to 16.00) in our clubrooms :-

KERSWELL HALL, 125 WILLS CRESCENT, HOUNSLOW, TW3 2JF

There will be EIGHT layouts in N, TT120, OO, O-16.5, O and G. There will also be a large S/H stand and refreshments.

This is a FREE EVENT, but the club welcomes donations to help cover the cost of hiring the hall, insurance etc.

We hope to see YOU there!

The biggest attraction at Twickenham MRC' Open Day - in both senses of that expression - will be our 7mm layout, ADDISON ROAD.

Here is a photo of it at the recent Bristol exhibition...................

If you like what you see, please come to see it in the flesh at our Open Day - it's free entry, although donations are welcome.

In fact, if you like what you see, why not join the club as a country member and become part of the Addison Road team? The club has one member in the USA, one in Germany and one in Rhodes and they are all part of the ADDISON ROAD group. You can see that Twickenham MRC have a wide definition of country membership.

Thank you.

The clock is ticking!

Not long to go now!

BREAKING NEWS

The club's original website as quoted in my recent post has had to be closed down.

We have rushed out a new website which at the moment is rather basic, but it will be enhanced and enlarged once our webmaster returns from holiday in August.

Our new website is www.tdmrc.icu
