Will any remnants of the old built-in club layout be shown? Or is there not enough left?

Presumably one of the stations could have makeshift stabling yards either side?

Happy Chanukah!

And I have "ownership?????" of what remains of Elbridge - stored under the house of another member. It's in a similar state - covered with dust and making a great home for a considerable spider population.

It will be held on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th November at the Old Eltham Bowls clubrooms, corner Bridge and Susan Streets Eltham, Victoria (diagonally opposite Bunnings.) Open from 10am to 4pm both days, and ENTRY is FREE.

Signs directing you to the venue will be clearly visible from the street.

Well two days to go, and I am sure you will enjoy our open day.

As well as Murranbilla, we have other layouts comming.

* OO gauge layout
* suitcase N scale layout
* Magnificant On30 layout, compact and super-detailed.
* HOn30 layout also well detailed

Only the suitcase and Murranbilla have been seen before, the two Narrow gauge layouts - well it is their debu.

On Sunday we will see the operational orientated Twigg or LeefyBay.

And some modelling may be done as well.

Easy start at Frankston, and on the way to melton stop at Eltham. Or via the BG line to Wodomga to watch the special race through......

Tonight will be a long night for us as we all set up the club Murranbilla layout and lend a hand with the others as well. Good training for a exhibition you may think Smile
