CHIPS Day (Childrens Integrated Playscheme) – January 2026
Everybody enjoyed a magical morning at Hoddesdon Model and Railway Club last weekend.
If you’ve not been, trust us, it’s Hoddesdon’s best kept secret!
While the club is not run by CHIPS, our friends at the Railway Club welcome CHIPS children above the age of eight for FREE once a month.
All we ask is that a parent or carer stays with their child during the whole session.The Railway Club is an oasis in miniature with boats, radio-controlled cars and trains in all sizes and scales indoors and out.
Think G scale, 16mm, 32mm, 45mm and N and 00 scale. There’s something for everyone.
If you think your young person would like to pop along, do email or phone the Railway Club directly for more information

The club is also always on the lookout for new members and volunteers to help with gardening, construction and social media projects.
If you love trains and would like to know more about single, family, junior memberships or volunteering opportunities, please visit the Railway Club’s website
