Devon Riviera Area Group (DRAG)
The Devon Riviera Area Group meets twice per month on Monday evenings,
at Holcombe Village Hall between Teignmouth and Dawlish. Catchment area
is basically Devon from Plymouth to Exeter, and south of Dartmoor.
Membership currently stands at 21 and attendances of around a
dozen people are normal. Most focus is currently on completing and playing with a modular
test circuit (TT2) which features four P4 tracks with minimum 5 ft
radius curves, transitions, superelevation, some P&C, and full DC/DCC
capability. There is also an 00 circuit for testing RTR stock. This has
all enabled members to develop their woodworking, tracklaying, wiring
and troubleshooting skills as suits their preference and provides a
running-in facility for old and new stock alike - and a lot of fun.
Members also bring their current projects along to work on or just to
have a chat.
When TT2 is finished options for new projects include a DRAG club layout, to be driven by those members who don't have their own layout projects already.
We are also embarking on a more structured programme of demonstration evenings in amongst the TT2 sessions.
Mass invasions of DRAG members as visitors, exhibitors or demonstrators to Scaleforum and RailWells are routine
and other shows are visited or exhibited at - several individual members
also have their own layouts in various stages of development.
If you are interested in coming along or would like more information or
help on any aspect of the group, the Scalefour Society or P4 modelling,
please contact Rod Cameron on riviera at scalefour.org
