The 2005 AGM was held at
Rainford, Merseyside. As well as the usual AGM
business meeting an excellent exhibition was held
featuring some superb 009 layouts. Below are
some of the layouts and entries for the 'Chairman's
Challenge'. The challenge was a "Pugbash" - the loco
must have started out as a Kitmaster/Airfix/Dapol 00
"Pug" plastic kit. Some really excellent models were
produced from this unlikely start.
