Modellers
The model of Leamington Spa is being built by the members of the North West Modellers Guild. They meet one day a week and their aim is to get the model as close as they can to the real thing. They have broken the project into smaller sections with one person in charge of each task:
-
Scenery is under Mike Taylor
-
Grass is by Chris Louth and Kevin Treby
-
Trees by Antony Reeves
-
Ballasters are Pete, Stuart Bracewell, Steve Corkron and Brian Jones
-
Bridges are Pete's and Mikes all painted by Mike
-
Woodwork is under Dave Douglas
-
Electrics and DCC is under Les Fram
-
Loco's maintained and CME is under Geoff Holt
-
Coaches are under Pete Waterman
-
Wagons are under Chris Louth
-
Signals are under Roger Markland
-
Signal planning and workings Arthur McGee and Dave
-
And like all models everybody can do as they're asked...
If you live in or around the North West and want to stay out of trouble (or out the way of the wife) on a Sunday then email us. New members will be warmly welcomed

July 2008
It is with great sadness that I have to report the death of a dear friend and fine modeller John Dutton. John was one of the Leamington stalwarts. Always a gent - he took his modelling very seriously and although he modelled in 4mm he loved to come on Sundays and do some 7mm. He would not mind me saying that he told the worst jokes I've ever heard, but he made a great cuppa! Although I have only known John for four years, in that time, I found that the world still has some goodness in it. Even though he has been so ill over the last few weeks he made it to say goodbye. Goodnight dear friend we will miss you but your work on Leamington will always be a reminder to us. My thoughts are also with John's family who made sure that he got over to us the last twice - I know how hard it must have been for you. Pete Waterman
