Lance Mindheim's Miami based layout...what realism!

One of our club members, James, has a blog about the N-scale model railroad equipment that he produces by 3D printing. Some amazing modelling skills in use and a video gallery many of which show trains on Solent Summit.

At our events we're sometimes asked where we buy the Styrofoam insulation material that some of us use in our layout construction. So here are the details:

Hampshire Insulation Products
The Aircraft Hanger
Thompson's Lane
Marwell
Hampshire SO21 1JH
Tel. 01962 777730

Follow signs to Marwell Zoo and they're about 200 yards from the Zoo entrance on the right-hand side (after you pass the Zoo entrance on the left-hand side) approaching from the West.

You'll need to ring first so they can cut the foam to order, and tell them it's for model making.
