N-gauge modellers have a
Super-Sunday in which to celebrate their passion, when Wonderful World of
Trains & Planes joins forces with the West Midlands N Gauge Club
to host a special day dedicated to N gauge layouts.
Almost 30 layouts will be
running today, Sunday 19th October, from 10am to 5pm, with several
UK-themed layouts, as well as some depicting Germany, France and the USA.
The modellers of each
layout will be on hand to operate and discuss, but this is a unique opportunity
to get all these N gauge layouts together which enthusiasts and casual visitors
will not want to miss.
Visitors have full access to the three floors of layouts at WWTP, a permanent venue that
opened in June just off St Paul's Square in
Birmingham.
These include layouts featuring Canada, France, Germany and UK, together
with others in the construction stage. Other layouts and presentations feature
the Royal Train and the Orient Express.
Professional flight simulators and a four-car race track are
also part of the overall experience. There is also a coffee shop and retail
store.
Wonderful World of Trains
& Planes is the country's newest and brightest model venue - a wonderful
experience for all the family.
The
West Midlands N Gauge Club was formed in 1995. It was an area group of
the N Gauge Society and is based in Tipton with members from all over the
W Midlands. It meets in the afternoons of
the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month. It has a 20ft exhibition layout named
"Waterstock," a 6 ft exhibition layout named "Tipton Hills," and a layout under
construction based on Water Orton and named "Whartson Hall." Most members also
have their own layouts, many of which can be seen at exhibitions or at the WWTP
Super Sunday event. More information at http://www.wmngaugeclub.co.uk
On-street parking is free
on Sundays in the area and there is also a 1000-space car park at the end of the
road which charges £3 for the entire day.
