MUSEUMS & PRESERVED / PRIVATE RAILWAYS

131 - Brighton & Hove Model Railway Club

The Brighton & Hove Model Railway Club during 1987 storm had damage done to their tracks. The result was a plea to businesses & people in the area to
sponsor new concrete plinths. Some were done by NSE, as shown in the photos. Taken on 27th April 2013.

Plinth showing sponsorship by 'Network SouthEast'.

134 - Electric Railway Museum - Coventry

Report & Photos by Dave East.
On Sunday 15 April 2012 I travelled to the Electric Railway museum at Coventry to renew my acquaintance with the 309 A/C units that I used to drive.
The Museum is situated next to the aviation museum by Coventry Airport and is in the process of being developed.
The museum not only holds the only preserved 309 units but a treasure trove of other ex NSE A/C & D/C units
including part of the 316 Networker motor test train that if not for efforts of the museum would be just a memory!
The museum holds special open weekends through out the year and is well worth a visit so check out their web site for forthcoming dates!

The 3 photos below were also taken at the Electric Museum, by NSERS Member Jim Coates.
