Camberley

Camberly is a "00" gauge model in 4mm scale by Roger Bottomley who holds the Secretaries post at the club. The model is permanently fitted in a room at his home so will not be able to be taken to exhibitions. The pictures below show the model not yet completed, but a lot of work has been done with Roger putting in many hours on the model. His wife Shirley has also assisted and is quite keen on doing the scenic work. (making a good job of it too) The model is a 2 track figure of 8 set out in an L shape with the crossover point at a raised level. When completed there will also be branches off this figure of 8 to a terminal station and loco yard with associated turntable.
