*Come and see us as the Spa Valley Railway's Model weekend on 21st and 22nd September.*
You can find our JustGiving fundraiser for Mind Mental Health charity here: tinyurl.com/8p5kz9br
Today we're explaining our brand new model railway plan. Owen and Team have set ourselves the challenge of building a layout from nothing in just one weekend, sharing our process and modelling tips throughout as we learn.
We're not only doing this because we're ambitious... we are raising money for Mind Mental Health Charity. Please contribute if you can as we all should strive towards better mental health and this is a brilliant charity who shares this aim.
If you can't come and support us in person, we will be livestreaming on my channel (Terrier55Stepney) on both days and any superchats will go towards our fundraiser too. We are also hoping to have some special guests saying a few words on how hobbies such as model railways can help towards a positive mind.
We are very grateful to PECO and GeoScenics for sponsoring us on this challenge, and are excited to have another go at a task on the scale of the TV programme The Great Model Railway Challenge!
This idea stems from our team captain Owen Hayward, and & Team comprises:
Alex Goodman
Paul Lawrence (Ex-GMRC contestant)
George Dibben
Max Davies (Ex-GMRC contestant)
