Indoor Running: "Mount Dowd" and "Dixon Green"
The Yorkshire Area Group of the 16mm NGM owns and operates the portable layout "Mount Dowd". This was built over 2005 by some of the Yorkshire Group Members using surplus from the Elsecar Show and replaces the original "Mount Dowd" which ran for many years as the group's layout.
"Dixon Green" was added in 2006 as a scenic smaller layout and is still under development.
Members can be involved setting up and running on "Mount Dowd" and Dixon Green" at EXHIBITION events, see "Diary Dates" for details.
