KEY:
Swindon Panel Days are the days on which we meet, generally at Didcot Railway Centre, to carry out practical work on the project. This is mainly work relating to the new building and wiring, etc in the panel.
Days which are coloured yellow are the days on which our soldering and specialist electronics work takes place lead by one of our technical team.
Days which are coloured green are the days on which there is a broader range of less-technical work going on, suitable for all levels of skill.
Our exhibition stand does vital work spreading the word about our organisation and attracting new people. These are always fun days to attend, no special skills are required, as long as you can chat to people and hand out leaflets you’ll be perfect! Why not join us and help out on one of the days (or part of a day) below?
7 & 8 January: Kidlington Model Railway Show http://www.scoutrail.org.uk/, Exeter Hall, Kidlington.
18 February: Kenavon Model Railway Exhibition, Reading.
25 & 26 November Warley Model Railway Show, Birmingham NEC
These include our popular visits and activities around the area. Details of each will be published closer to the date.
15 January: Society visit to Romsey Signal Box (Romsey Signal Box website).
11 March: Swindon Panel & Friends, Reunion and Drinks.
27 May: Society visit to Great Cockrow Railway (GCR website).
3 June: Annual General Meeting, Didcot.
8 July: Visit to Exeter PSB
Our Society’s Operations Board meets on Monday evenings. This is the mechanism through which we are designing and confirming the signalling-related aspects of the preservation, such as the infrastructure that will be included on the panel itself and how it will be operated. These meetings are conducted via Skype Conference from 7:30 – 9:00pm. The Operations Board is always happy to welcome new faces (or voices), especially from a signalling or signal engineering background. More dates are progressively added in blocks as our work progresses.
