Crich Tramway Museum 2008
Some pictures from an exhibition at the Crich Tramway Museum on the 10/11th May 2008
For several years during the 2000s Sue and John Herdman represented the North Eastern Meccano Society at the Crich Tramway Museum's Model weekend each year. Although they were usually the only NEMS members - except for one year when Brian and Linda Chaffer assisted us - they were often in the company of members from clubs in the Midlands Area in particular the Nightingale family and Tom and Matthew McCallum.
