Deputy Chairmans Cup
The Deputy Chairmans Cup competition was originally established to reward
innovations facilitating P4 modelling. After only two awards the Cup
was changed, in 1982, to a competition for locomotive performance with
the intention of encouraging skill and innovation in the construction
of model railway locomotive chassis. From 1993 to 2001 the competition
was divided into two categories, class A for kit or scratchbuilt, class
B for rewheeled proprietary. After 2001 the competition was
discontinued.
