Sections
The Club is organised into sections, representing the different interest, scale or gauge. Each section has a team leader, who will explain and show new members what the section is up to and introduce you to other members in the section.
Club members may take an interest in as many sections as you like!
The linked pages give a introduction, pictures and videos to each of the sections, but this is no substitute for seeing the real thing so please come along and have a look.
Scales & Gauges
The width of train track is refered to as the gauge. This determines which trains can run on the track. The scale determines the size of the model train compared to a full size train. The popular OO gauge trains run on tracks 16.5mm apart, and their scale is 4 mm to 1 ft, meaning a detail 4mm wide on a model locomotive, would be 1 foot (305mm) wide on the full size loco.
Trains, Boats, Road Vehicles and more…
In addition to the established sections the club has a Scaletrix layout, a collection of model fairground rides, and things for younger visitors including the popular Brio wooden trains, a Thomas the Tank Engine train set and more.
Runnings Days
The video below gives an idea of what may be running on a typical Sunday morning (this was November 2019). What’s running depends on who’s there on the day!
