Contents and Layout Guide
Their site is divided into ten sections, with navigation bars at the top and bottom of each page.
Two N gauge articles on the Project Progress Page has been added, one called "Market Cross", the other an American marshalling yard (on hold at the moment). We have also finished an OO gauge layout using DCC, which helped the club gain experience with the wiring and different controllers, details are also on the Project Progress Page.
Their is also an article called "Electrics and Model Railways" and is a beginner's guide to wiring a model railway.
A further section called Olney Station Project has been included on the website. Additions to the page will take place as the project takes shape. An in depth article on the history of the Northampton to Bedford Railway, is also available to browse.
A further article has been added, describing a special passenger train journey along the line in the summer of 1951.
Various Exhibition photographs are also available to view covering the last several years.
