Physical and financialhelp, We need as much help now, as we didin 1951 when we took the railway over.

The Talyllyn Railway Preservation Societyis the key to it. lt is more than just a supporters'club. lt has real, eftective control over the waythe railway is run. The members elecl thecouncil of the Sociely, which in turn appointsthe members of the board of the railwaycompany.

Membership costs only 30s a year (f,15 Life,l0s junior under 21) and gives you:-Free travel on the Talyllyn and FestiniogRailways

*****The inaugural meeting of this Society was held at the Percival Guildhouse, Rugbyon October 6th 1949, sixteen members being enrolled. Present membership nowexceeds 60. It was intended that the society should cater for the needs of modelengineers and similar amateur craftsmen in the Rugby district both from a practicaland social point of view.

Soon after its' formation, the society was very fortunate in securing the use ofpermanent premises at the Hillmorton Community Centre, thus beginning a veryhappy association which has lasted ever since. The building (a brick built war timeair raid shelter) was converted by the addition of windows and suitable equipmentinto a workshop. From time to time the equipment has been improved andincludes a variety of machine and hand tools. The present policy is to provide toolswhich are not normally found in the amateur's home workshop.

Being a railway town, it was not surprising that a large part of the member's interest.was centred around steam locomotives and, at Hillmorton, was the ideal site for theconstruction of a miniature steam passenger hauling railway. Constructed to thedual gauges of 3t/2" and 5" gauge during the first few years after moving to theCentre, the original track was 328 ft. long. This was entirely re-built during thewinter of 1965 and is now 525 ft.long.The track has fully automatic three aspect colour light signalling with manual over-ride of the station and steaming bay areas provided by a fully interlocking 7 leverminiature lever frame housed in the signal box which is also fitted with an illuminatedtrack diagram.

Miniature traction engines are also well represented in the Society, there being plentyof room on the lawns for them to show their paces.

Other members construct a variety of workshop equipment, stationary models, etc.,the only requirement for membership being that the person should be activelyinterested in some form of model engineering.

From its inception, the Society has always held a series of winter lectures, originallyat the Percival Guildhouse but now in our own club room adjacent to the workshop.Many well known lecturers have given talks at these meetings on all branches ofthe model making art.

Visits have been held to places ofinterest and similar Societies, as far afield as theSouth Coast and Yorkshire.

Our portable miniature railway has given pleasure to literally thousands of children(some not so small) all over the midlands and we have tfuee times exhibited atBritain's premier agricultural show, the Royal Show at Stoneleigh.

Today, in our 2lst year, we present this exhibition in the hope that it will give somepleasure to many visitors and that it may encourage others to join us in thisfascinating hobby.

CATERERS TO THE RUGBY S.M.E.C. FESTIVAL OF MINIATURETRANSPORT AND ENGINEERTNG

The Festival will be officially opened byTHE RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF LANESBOROUGH, T.D.,D.L.,J.P.

at 3.00 p.m. on Saturday 28th March 1970

The Earl is President of the Main Line Preservation Group and is keenlyinterested in Model Engineering.

DEMONSTRATIONS AND ACTIVITIES

The gound levelT%" gauge passenger cauying railway will be operated continuouslythroughout the exhibition by steam locomotives.

The multigauge (31h" and 5") raised, continuous railway will also be operated tfuough-out the Feltival by steam locomotives. There will gsually be 2 or 3 trains runningat the same time, iafety being maintained by fully automatic colour light signals.

The larger locomotives will pull trains of passengers whilst the smaller ones will berun as a demonstration only.

Threshing in miniature. Mr. G.W. Cox of Rugby S.M.E.C. will run his threshingtackle from time to time during the Festival. He will show that it is possible tothesh a mixture of selected grass and plantain in a model only one tenth of fullsize. His Ruston and Hornsby single cylinder agricultural engine will be in steamto drive the threshing drum and elevator. Stand 53

Typical Model Engineers Workshop. Mr. M.D. Hughes of the home club will assemble

and operate a seleition ofequipment such as found in many back garden sheds. Hewill make parts for his "Maid of Kent" 5" gauge 4-40 locomotive.

stand s4

Various Traction Engines will be demonstrated in steam from time to time (weatherpermitting) including a 2" scale single cylinder Fowler ploughing engine.

Certain Stationary Engines, locomotive chassis and so on will be run on compressedair, including at least one beam engine.

Mr. E.J..Crossley of Leicester S.M.E. will demonstrate many of his remarkablecollection of models and gadgets at intervals. These include radio controlled items.

Stand 57

"O" gauge railway owned and will be operated by Mr. K. Martin a "lone hand" ofRugby. Stand G5

G.E.C. (Coventry) Model Engineering Section will be operating a Slot Car RacingTrack. Try your hand at driving these incredibly fast electric cars. The visitorgetting the best time of the day will receive a prae. Stand 85

Glass Modelling will be demonstrated by Mr. R.J. Martin, 36 The Ridings,Desborough, Kettering, Northants. Mr. Martin uses a horizontal oxygen/butanelamp which emits a bright blue flame with a white centre. Various glass rods incleal and opaque colouis are used to make animals. No moulds are used except a

few shaping tools for ears and wings. The shaping is otherwise done with the rodsthemselves. Stand 87

Film Shows will be given at approximately hourly intervals using films kindly loanedby The Talyllyn Railway Preservation Society, The Main Line Preservation Group,Festiniog Railway, Flying Scotsman Enterprise s.

The programmes for each showing will be posted outside the Cinema, so that youcan choose which you wish to see.

The Main Line Preservation Group needs no introduction, with a plan to preserve18 miles of double track main line for steam operation at typical speeds. Alreadythe group has a membership growing faster than that of any similar organisation andis well on the way to achieving its ends. In the very near future it is hoped thatnegotiations for the purchase of the first section between kicester and Loughboroughwill have been succeisfully concluded and that arrangements will be in hand for anearly restoration of passenger services.

Plans for raising the considerable finance necessary to ensure the success of thisproject, are about to be put into operation. These will include the formation of a-ompany which is a Charitable Trust and in the meantime enthusiasts are urged tojoin the group and to assist wherever possible.
