NEW Modellers 00 Layout Project – Kerswell Lane

We are actively encouraging modellers of all ages to get involved in the creative art of railway modelling, especially after so much interest at our successful Open Day.

Whilst we have built museum quality model layouts such as “Kensington Addison Road”, we realise that such a layout can appear daunting to those thinking of taking that first step into what can often become a ‘hobby for life’.

Kerswell Lane” is intended not only to become a worthwhile replacement for our life expired ‘Drive a Train’ layout, but has also been structured to to enable new modellers to become easily and actively involved.

Kerswell Lane Trackplan

A track layout featuring two passing loops around the station and two sidings with an emphasis on ease of construction

Joining this layout group at the early stages of the project, provides a great opportunity to be involved with a new layout and to acquire basic skills, or improve existing skills in several disciplines including :

Woodworking, Track Laying, Scenery, Building control panels,
Basic Electronics, and Wiring

Putting finishing touches to the baseboards that are almost ready for track laying

Autumn Modelling – A Golden Opportunity

Autumn is often a time of active modelling. With new layouts in ’00’ and ‘N’ scales on the drawing board, these projects provide a great opportunity to join us in these club funded projects. Full details will be posted on the web page as soon as we can, but in the meantime give the secretary a call or email.

Scratching an itch?

You do not need experience or even more than a passing interest in railways to become involved in our activities!
As a creative hobby, railway modelling embraces many different disciplines ranging from practical ‘DIY’ skills, artistry, structure modelling etc. Members with primary interests in any of these areas are able to contribute to our projects whilst learning new skills at the same time.
