Looking forward to our final open day of the year at Hillingdon Railway Modellers which is being held on Saturday 17th December, so bring your best XMAS models, maybe some mince pies.
It's the last event of this year but I'm sure they'll be publishing dates for 2017 soon on their website (link in the header above). I will hopefully get there for the afternoon with a few smaller items in the bag to try out as it's always a popular day and doors open to the public at 10:00am.
Yiewsley Baptist Church

* the entrance is at the side of the church down a path and the doors at the end should be open, don't try and enter the main doors of the church.
Owing to rental costs of the hall there is a cover charge of £4 but there will be two extensive O Gauge and OO Gauge Test Tracks available and have recently added a three track N Gauge circuit too (Pic Below) all up and running so if you have anything you wish to see get a good run do please come along.

There will be refreshments available, the bacon rolls are highly recommended. There is an entrance fee of £4 to cover the cost of using the hall for the day.
It should be stressed that these ARE NOT exhibitions, so bring your own locos and rolling stock to run. At busy times we may have to introduce time slots so that everyone can get a chance to operate their stock. Here's a short clip of one of the earlier open days YouTube LINK
Below you can see a busy picture of their 8 road yard in O Gauge it's a very extensive track and will give your models a very good run. A few photo's taken from the last open day are below, if you read back to some of the earlier postings in this blog I have tried to show the variety of excellent models on show, these guys are truly experts in their craft.

People will bring a wide variety of stock to run, nearly all are kit built though and the skills / detail is incredible.
Everyone will get their turn I promise.
This picture gives a good idea of the size of the O Gauge test track, you can give your models a really good work out here. This can also transform into an exhibition layout called Grindley Brook a scenic section replaces the long straight down the back.
