Sussex Downs 009 Group open day 2017

009 exhibition model-railways narrow-gauge O14

Well it’s been a while since I’ve done one of these posts.

Saturday was the (by my count) sixth members’/open day run by the Sussex Downs group of the 009 Society – held at Lancing parish hall this was a great example of the small, friendly events that Society groups around the country put on.

And the quality of the layouts was great, too. Probably best demonstrated through some photos!
