Deputy Chairman's Cup.

The Deputy Chairmans Cup competition was originally established to reward innovations facilitating P4 modelling. After only two awards the Cup was changed, in 1982, to a competition for locomotive performance with the intention of encouraging skill and innovation in the construction of model railway locomotive chassis. From 1993 to 2001 the competition was divided into two categories, class A for kit or scratchbuilt, class B for rewheeled proprietary. After 2001 the competition was discontinued.
