We are a group of enthusiastic Model Railway lovers, modelling mostly British Railways of many eras and in many scales. We welcome anyone of any age or background with an interest in railways who would like to play more, learn more or contribute more. Contact info is below, and our monthly Social Night is open to all comers.
News for September:
We had a variously successful weekend at Heritage Park’s Railway Days. The operational difficulties of keeping trains moving on a single line branchline were reinforced. This being the main reason for the new layout that’s under construction. We also have quite a number of members with only or mainly DC locomotives, and our ‘As Yet Un-named” branchline is very hard to operate using DC controllers. On the plus side we got part of the new layout trackplan on the boards, and started some track laying.
September 1st: Track ordered.. June 30th, we’ve started building our new exhibition layout. It will be a 24 feet wide and 12 feet long tailchaser layout, with a double main line, passing tracks in the station, a branch line with an industrial shunting area & a 6 track fiddleyard.

September 24th , Social Night at 7:00pm at ‘Limericks Pub’, 7304 Macleod Trail, upstairs in the back room (Tullamore room).
