The Northampton & District NG Modellers held their
first open evening at the Scout Hut in Kingsthorpe.
Despite the weather being very cold with snow around
a good number of brave souls turned up to what
turned out to be a very enjoyable evening. All of
the layouts were from members of the Group, apart
from the visiting "Newton Halt".
Roving Reporter Mick Thornton was on hand to supply
the photographs. Captions by Mick Thornton and John
Jacobs.
