009 Society AGM 2005 - 16th April 2005

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.
