Hi,

I will be there for a few days and wondered if there are any hobby shops that sell model railways.

Regards

Train Shows, Events / Hobby-X Johannesburg
« on: February 27, 2015, 10:06:28 AM »
Hobby-X will be held at The Dome, North Riding from 5-8 March, although it is a general craft and hobby show model railways will be well represented by The N Gauge Guild's modular layout, The Cape Gauge Club's modular layout and two model shops. There will be scenery and loco building demos.

Suppliers of tools useful for model railways will be there too. Here is a link to their website http://www.hobby-x.co.za/

Clubs / Gauteng Model Railway Clubs

A list of Gauteng model railway clubs appears on the N Gauge Guild website in the links section.

http://nggosa.co.za/wp/links/clubs-and-societies-2/clubs/gauteng-model-train-clubs/

There are links to most of the contact people.

I am hoping that the clubs will post and update their info here but for the time being please use the link above.

Regards

Ronnie.

Layout Design / Re: Lightweight modular layout
« on: November 21, 2014, 07:38:51 AM »
I have used Isoboard for the baseboard of my new layout and ordinary polystyrene for the scenery. I find the Isoboard is strong and rigid enough for a baseboard but a bit difficult to shape into land forms.

I think a lot depends on whether or not your layout will be portable and transported around a lot or will stay at home.

I think a lot of baseboards are over engineered and too heavy, as long as you aren't going to fling your layout into the back of a lorry a lightweight baseboard works very well.
