The Train Simulator - 22 February 2016
At the exhibition in Frome on 30th January we demonstrated the Train Simulator.
Yesterday's Exhibition at Frome - 31 January 2016
We held an exhibition at the Frome Cheese & Grain and the Railfuture Severnside meeting was alongside. We had many local visitors, more than even we had expected. Again, the the working model of the proposed Mells Road site was operating and attracted much interest. The updated Train Simulator was running throughout the day and generated excitement from all visitors,
We were very please that so many visitors had taken the trouble to come: there were Members from four local authoritities and we will be able to follow-up many aspects of the plan with them.
The public launch of the Train Simulator is planned for25th February: for details search on Facebook. Stills will be appearing here shortly.
