Title: Classic old model railways
Post by: Bealman on December 18, 2011, 03:53:28 AM
My fascination with model railways from the past continues. Members of this forum have kindly contributed info on what is happening to the Buckingham Branch, and it's good to see Borchester being looked after so well. Here's a one for you.... does anyone know where i might access photos and info on a late 1950s early 60s layout - Mincaster, with it's statue of St. Min?!! Modification: I believe there was an article in a 1964 Railway Modeller by a Mr Ronald Michell? Possibly the same Mr Michell who has been involved with the electronics group over the years?

OK.. and info would be greatly appreciated about the ORTOGO railway by Jack Dugdale - a true tinker's railway using electronic and automatic techniques ahead of their time.
