Gauge O Group Club Meet

It appears this weekend is the time for O scale modelers to get together to share the enjoyment of the hobby,  with the 70th Anniversary of the Guild bash at Guildex.  I hope everyone has a great time,  wish I could be there.

In my own small way,  I'l be spending the long weekend running trains and working on some projects for the BBR.   In addition,  the Windrush Gauge O Group  (WGOG) is meeting again as the weather is still very pleasant.  Looks like one of the members brought along some Scottish trains !  

Happy Birthday GOG !   If you're not a member,  I highly recommend joining.   https://www.gaugeoguild.com/
