May We Suggest...

There's a new blog on the Net you might care to take a look at - it's for Cooper Hire MRC, Bron Hebog's parent organisation, if you like.

Cooper Hire MRC is a loose affiliation of three old boys and one 'overseas member' (Me). They get together about once a week to blether and booze and occasionally they might get round to some modelling too. At the very least they'll have a thorough and comprehensive discussion about the modelling they might do at some unspecified point in the future.

Aside from Bron Hebog and Dduallt the 'club' are custodians of two other notable layouts.

New Mills is a OO layout set on the WMCL which has been exhibited across the UK for many years as a modern image layout and is now been recast into a 1960's steam/diesel/electric transition era layout.

Of more interest to narrow gauge modellers is the collection of 16mm models built by the late, great Don Boreham, the godfather of UK narrow gauge modelling. We have built a small exhibition layout, Merioneth Town, to display his famous models at exhibitions.

The website is still being developed but if you'd like to take a look you can find it here
