Model Railway Section

The BAE SYSTEMS Model railway Club has been established for 19 years.

We have a small clubroom situated in the social club, and we meet every Thursday night.

The aim of the club is to promote the world of model railways, but this encompasses such a large span regarding railways in general, that on club nights many subjects regarding railways and modelling are discussed.

In the 19 years that we have been established we have completed a large “N” Gauge layout, and are currently re-building a portable “00” layout, complete with all the scenic details.

The second layout under re- construction is a large SM32 live steam layout that has grown over the years and has proved to be very popular at exhibitions.

Both these layouts have been designed to be transported to exhibition sites. As well as being available to club members to practice they driving skills on Thursday nights.

We try to promote the skills that are required in building a model railway. This could be in build the baseboard, laying the track, building the scenic details, and most people's nightmare, the electric's.

We are a very friendly group, with an age group from 10 to senior citizens and are always ready to welcome new members who have an interest, no matter how small, in the world of model railways.

For more details please contact our secretary Mr G Harvey on 01634 271239 or call in on a Thursday night.
