A NEWSWORTHY EVENT

Rail re-openings always generate media interest, and I thought that the return of timber trains to Crianlarich would be a newsworthy event. There are plenty of excellent miniature figures on the market today, but the real driving force for this scene was Noch’s pack of photographers with working flash cameras! You might see it as a bit gimmicky, but I think that anything that livens up a layout or adds variety is a good thing… as long as it’s not overdone. Noch produces lots of different figures that feature lights, from welders with flickering welding gear to a modern station despatcher with a green ‘right of way’ wand. The photographer pack comes with six photographers but only three have working flashes. All the electronics are supplied and all you need to do is connect the circuit board it to a 16V AC power source.
