Welcome to the Preston and District Model Railway Society
In view of the new restrictions, the club can no longer operate, so members should not attend the club (they can access their property in the club if they can get hold of the keys).
OUR CLUB ROOMS are in Unit 12, Aqueduct Mill, Aqueduct Street, Preston. PR1 7JN.
This is a comfortable 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.

Exhibition
Our 2020 Exhibition has just finished, and was a great success, so much so that we ran out of programmes (apologies to those who could not get one).
Congratulations to Lucas from Cottam for winning the children’s competition. The correct answer was “Orient Express”.
We hope to see you all again next year!
