Abstract

We are joined Mike Hale and Club member Ben Ando, co-founders of RevolutioN Trains who have pioneered the concept of crowdfunding to bring model trains (mainly in N gauge) to market. We shall no doubt hear from the entire process and get hands on with samples and a “behind the scene” look at model rail manufacturer.

Mixed audience, from many different subject areas. All welcomed to come.

About the CURC :

Founded in 1911 from the Cambridge University branch of The Railway Club, Cambridge University Railway Club (CURC) is the second oldest railway enthusiast club in the world! The CURC arranges an event in Cambridge most weeks during Full Term, most often a presentation by an invited speaker, almost always a key professional from the rail industry, on a specific subject. The club is not just train talk, but about how the railway works. We have a celebrated history of CURC alumni who now work in the railway industry, with some at quite senior levels.

Membership for students costs £10 per year or £25 for life membership. We charge £3 at the door for non-members, upon your third entry to a talk (first two talks are free). So come and try us out for free, gain exclusive access to key railway professionals and depots and you might just want to become a member! (We won’t tell anyone you are ;) )
