Eltham Centre Display 2024

The Eltham Centre
Eltham
Our annual promotional display at the Eltham Centre featured models from many of our members. Unfortunately the models were static this year as there was a problem with the electricity supply to the cabinet.
Two models built by our late Chairman and founder member Adrian Ashford were featured on the lower and middle shelves: A windmill and 2–4–2 tank locomotive.
Other models on the lower shelf were Robin Schoolar’s enigmatic stabiliser, Les Chatfield’s garage crane hoisting an engine, and Brian Leach’s Derek the Dragon and BBC 2 channel ident models.
The middle shelf featured two circus models from Tim Surtell, an acrobat and a diabolo player, plus Alan Wenbourne’s gearless right-angle drive mechanism and Santiago Plicio’s Cromer Simpson crab.
On the upper shelf were a crawler tractor from Chris Warrell, a sports car from Andrew Couzens and a Ducati motorcycle from John Clifton.
Completing the display were a selection of small models constructed by Alan Wenbourne from Marks & Spencers kits.
