Hi, all, In addition to the model railroading public service below about the X2011 West Facebook team bringing you near real-time pictures from the NMRA British Region 65th annual Convention that is taking place in Derby, UK Oct 22-24, 2010: X2011 West Facebook page in the "NMRA British Region 65th Convention" photo album. This year's convention is another superb one, and the X2011 West National NMRA Convention 2011 committee would like to share with you so that we all can appreciate and applaud our superb international model railroading colleagues. Great N scale layouts on display: I also saw Neal Carnaby of Neal's N-Gauging Trains. Neal has not gone away, he is still active in N scale distribution of his specific products and imports (and he can be contacted at the email on the picture): Including his new etched metal chain link fences with barbed wire: Good to see Neal. NMRA British Region ( NMRA BR - National Model Railroad Association British Region )was established in 1945 and now has over 600 members, mostly in the UK but also in other parts of Europe, and provides a focus in the UK for modellers of North American prototypes in all scales. Enjoy this thread, see more photos at the X2011 West Facebook page: X2011 West Facebook page And there will be more pics to come Sat 10/23 and Sun 10/24!
