This is a warm and modern industrial unit situated behind the Mill. Here the Society’s layouts are displayed and in use. There is a brew room, demonstration room and library facilities.

Several layouts are under construction in “N”, “00″, & “009/12″.
Our layout “Ardson” was featured in the Jananuary 2008 Railway Modeller

and “Bee Lane” in the November 2008 British Railway Modelling
We have a group working with Digital Command Control ( Our “Bee Lane” 00 Layout can be operated digitally )

Work is now underway on a large new 00 layout which will give more scope for both D.C and D.C.C. operations.

The Society welcomes modellers of all ages and experience. However, an appropriate adult must accompany members under the age of 16.

We currently have in excess of 35 male and female members.
