In 2021 Mauch Chunk has moved to my home in the East Riding of Yorkshire. I (steve) will contine to work on it here. I will be ably assisted by some of the members of the East Riding Finescale group in Hull and will post a photo as soon as possible!

 

The Modellers in 2017 to 2019 were: Richard Oldfield, Gavin Liddiard, Dave Faulkner and Steve Hales at the Barrowmore Model Railway Group. Mike Rapson and several others also contributed.

The Modellers in 2014 were: Steve Hales, Gordon Young and Doug Wishart at the Merseyside Model Railway Society.

Chris Bennett, who was one of the initiators of the project, sadly passed away in August 2013.

The Modellers in 2011 were: Chris Bennett, Gordon Young, Dave Williams, Steve Hales and Paul Rees of the Merseyside Model Railway Society at the Warrington Exhibition.

The Modellers in 2008 were: Dave William, Steve Hales, Chris Bennett and Paul Rees at the Merseyside Model Railway Society.

The Modellers in 2005 were: Steve Hales, Paul Rees and Chris Bennett of the Merseyside Model Railway Society, in the Stork Public House in Birkenhead.

The Modellers in 2002 were Steve Hales, Chris Bennett, Ian Clark and Paul Rees of the Merseyside Model Railway Society, in the Stork Public House in Birkenhead.

[Note that during the construction of Mauch Chunk others have also helped with modelling, including Derek Jones, John Etheridge, Bill Marshall and Alisdair Macdonald. Many others have helped in other ways and there is a long list under ‘Thanks’ on the old website].

Finally, but certainly not least: Eugene Mones, an expert HO modeller, latterly of Jim Thorpe (Mauch Chunk), who never actually modelled with us but inspired me to model HO American and also helped in so many other ways – including introducing me to the prototype (Mauch Chunk) in the first place in 1996.

Sadly, Gene passed away in August 2014.
