September Running Night 2018

Hey hey, this blog update is brought to you today whilst I watch the AFL Grand Final (Go WCE!). Last night's running night had a good turn out and lots of trains running. Don Moir turned up with his recently painted Alyn Models ASG and she was a beauty. It was interesting to note, there were more DC locos there last night than there was DCC equipped locos. Any way, I got plenty of photos for you to view below so please enjoy.

September Meeting 2018

Hey hey, I was unavoidably detained during the last meeting of the S scale SIG however with the help of Stuart Mackay's notes, I have assembled this blog post for you to enjoy. As you may note, I arrived later in the night and was able to take the below photos from the Bring and Show. Unfortunately I do not have many photos as the theme of the night was a slide presentation and Bring and Show was a little light on. What I did get is shown below for you to enjoy.
