Interactive Modellers Workshop is hosted by Chiltern Model Railway Association and is being held on Saturday 20th July from 10am – 5pm at Parmiters School.
Cost per ticket is £10.00 for members of CMRA Associate Organisations and £12.00 for non-members. (Ticket includes a buffet lunch)
With the world of railway modelling expanding every day the potential skills involved are growing all the time. The Chiltern Model Railway Association’s Interactive Modellers Workshop is here to help. They have assembled a group of experts in one place to advise and help you.
Ever wondered how they manage to fit speakers in such a small space? How to solder wires to the track? What skills 3D printing involves? Or even how one crafts scenery together? They are bringing together experts on Kit Construction, Electronics, Baseboard construction, Scenic design, as well as insurance, valuation and traders.
They can help with the answers to these, and many other, questions. With a small number of layouts and trade stands it is a relaxed atmosphere in which you can sit down and have one to one conversation and, hopefully, solve some problems and learn some new skills.
In addition, there will be talks and demos during the day on a number of varied subjects. Check the website for details – cmra.org.uk/imw.html
The event ticketing form can be downloaded by clicking http://cmra.org.uk/downloads/imw_ticketing_form_2019.pdf
