Bachmann Collectors Club 2023 Members Day
Following an enjoyable visit to the Dean Forest Railway the previous year, the 2023 Bachmann Collectors Club Members Day was held at the North Norfolk Railway on 2nd September 2023. Once again, the attending members were treated to behind the scenes tours, with the railway’s volunteers pulling out all the stops to ensure a good time was had by all.
