Model Railroaders support Gambian Schools Charity
Two members of South Shore Model Railroad club are raising money for charity by exhibiting their layouts at Firle, East Sussex Village Hall on Monday 25 August 2008 starting at 11 a.m.
Charlie Fox-Wilson is exhibiting his large G scale American Mining layout 'Broke Brick Mountain'. At 10 metres by 2 metres in size it is currently the largest layout owned and operated by a member of South Shore Model Railroad Club.
Charlie has persuaded friend and fellow club member Cliff South to exhibit his latest HO scale layout 'The Ashley, Danville and Deanstown' layout. This is the first time that this 1906 based layout has been seen in public.
The Gambia Reality Charity helps to set up and run schools in rural Gambia.
South Shore Model Railroad Club meets from 7 p.m. to 10.30 p.m. on Wednesdays at Sompting Village Hall (except 2nd Wednesday of each month). Full details can be obtained from their web site
Photos of these two layouts can be seen on my fotopic site at
These photos were taken within the past month although both layouts have already had more work carried out on them. The only way to find out just how they look is to visit the show !
