Hi Henry
If you are in Thurrock why not come along to the Romford club? You will be welcome and we dont bite
. Although we have a track not all of us build loco's. Many members choose Stationary, Stirling or IC engines. Our club webpage is here **LINK** where you will find the diary of events and lectures. Come to a competition night and see what people are building and have a chat. You get 3 visits before we ask for money and membership.
Send me a PM on this forum if you want to know more.
regards
Steve
