The Zoo Secretary’s Challenge
This Challenge took place at our March 2026 Meeting
This was our fourth ‘Big Challenge’. The first one, in 2013, was to build trains to run on O gauge track; the second, in 2015, was to construct a model village, and the third, in 2017, was to build the London Underground map.
The idea for this Challenge came from Cathy Warrell, and it was to build a zoo. Members could build any number of models of animals and/or enclosures. A scale wasn’t specified!
If anyone needed inspiration, they could take a look at the Noah’s Ark model from Michael Whiting at the International Meccano Model Show in 2012.
