GAUGE O GUILD

Liverpool and West Lancs. 'O' Gauge Group (LAWLOGG)

Only three weeks ahead of our OPEN DAY (Sat. 17th May 2025), the baseboards for our new modern-image wagon works have just landed at our clubrooms, 3 miles north of Liverpool city centre. They were made in our treasurer's garage and brought in the back of his car ... which is the whole point - a compact modern-image exhibition layout that should avoid the need to hire a van. We expect to see it develop over the next year or two and, working in conjunction with members of the Merseyside Area Group of MERG (which meets monthly at LAWLOGG), we hope to use it as a learning ground for developing our knowledge and experience with the NMRA’s licence-free open-standard for LCC (Layout Command Control), which does for points, signals, sounds, lights, animations etc., what DCC did for traction – greatly simplified wiring on a 2-wire bus system that's inter-operable with commercial units from multiple manufacturers or DIY modules. Time will tell! Feel free to bring your O-gauge stock for a run and see it for yourself, along with our four existing layouts at our open day. Admission free (donations welcome). Free parking. Public transport nearby. Light refreshments. Demonstrations. Pick up a used bargain! (Go to LAWLOGG.UK/VISIT for more details.)

Bo'ness Gauge O Group

Formed in 1993, known as BoGoG, our public exhibition operating season at the Scottish Rly Preservation site @ Bo'ness, West Lothian commences from easter through to October on Saturdays and Sundays. We also have a facebook page which usually has some comical comments and is managed by our younger members. We have spent the best part of 2024 and into 2025 refurbishing the layout especially in upgrading the scenics along with improving the general interior of both carriages, renewal of the domestic electrics, decorating, new furnishing and rolling stock renewals. Always a resource for O Gauge interested modellers and open to organised visits from other Groups especially in operating the layout at weekends.
