Workshop on soldering
We regularly run a series of workshops for beginners, we held them in 2018 and 2019, and after a delay due to Covid we are running them again in 2024. The topics are basic electricity, soldering, baseboards, track laying, decals, rolling stock, card buildings, scenery, and trees. Though aimed at newcomers more experienced modellers are welcome to come and learn new skills.
All workshops begin at 5 pm and last for 60-90 minutes. Some are hands-on, some demos, others presentations. The following courses are planned for 2024, we expect to repeat them in 2025.
