Club Notes

We are a multi gauge club with 6 0 Gauge Guild members and others who dabble in 0 gauge loco building and American 1/48 scale narrow gauge. One of our newer Guild members is interested in Great Western Broad Gauge and is producing a mixed gauge layout of St Ives. This will be 'dead track' with battery powered locos with radio control using a fancy system which frankly I don't fully understand.

Club news

(Last updated 24 Oct 2018)

We were lucky enough to hold our annual exhibition in early March just before lockdown. When we resume construction will continue on a new multi gauge test track that will include 32mm gauge. Unfortunately in order to leave room in the club room for other activities (and the members) this will not have 6 ft radius curves and will be limited to the smaller locomotives especially the industrial type.
