Ramsbottom Model Railway Club

If any of you have ever taken a ride along the East Lancashire Railway and passed through the station of Ramsbottom then have you ever wondered what it looked like in the 1950's?

Well Im Danny Jones (club secretary) and over the last 30 years the club has put together one of the best layouts you could visit.

we have a website complete with regular updates, photos of our work and even videos

Take a look:- www.rmrc.webs.com

or Take a look at a birds eye view of the layout http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7REprg7RZwE

Please let me know what you all think as im wondering whether its worth entering into one of the mags?

Dan

 

Many thanks for the link. After 30 years there has to be a story to be told. I enjoyed the website.

 

well there is always a story to be told i currently working on an article to give to all the mags complete with pictures.

Ive only been a member for a total of 3 years so im gathering information off the older members.

hopefully should be good when its finished.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Get this your diaries people....

Because Ramsbottom Model Railway Club will finally see their layout of Ramsbottom in 1950/1960 published.

A BIG thanks to Martyn Barnwell and Richard Foster of MODEL RAIL MAGAZINE for making it happen.

Just as i was to approach two other magazines....model rail got back in touch to say they will be publishing it in the OCT/NOV Edition.

I for one already have the magazine on direct post to my house each month so i dont miss out
