Shall we bring this discussion under the proper heading!So far as the OS plan surveyed 1885, published 1886, is concerned: the OS liked - wherever they could - to have text running parallel to the top and bottom borders. When they came to add the…Continue

Hi Nick,
In the depths of this website there is a modelling section:-
http://www.smj.me/group/smjmodelling
I am responsible for the humble attempt at Blisworth SMJ (property of Kettering and District MRS).
A few members were kind enough to ask when it will next be exhibited. This year's show will be on Saturday 6th June at Wren Spinney School in Kettering - more details to follow closer to the time.
I hope this is of interest to you.
Jim.
Nick,
I met Mr Reader, forget his first name, at MK Model Railway Exhibition last Saturday. He was talking about a future pre WW1 Kineton layout, presumably this is the same project as yours. Point is, he had tried to join this website but had experienced difficulty receiving some sort of automatic returned email message. I looked to see if I had received a request to join email from him as I normally would. If you know this gent tell him to reapply to join the website and there shouldn't be any problem.
Dick Bodily
Nick,
So there'll be plenty here for you to base the layout on!
Peter
Hello Nick,
A warm welcome!
What connections do you have with the SMJ?
Peter
