Cheshire Railway Modellers, as an on-line model railway club, is not intended to be a replacement for membership of a conventional model club but is a complement to such membership. We aim to share ideas and advice just as a conventional club would, but we are not confined to certain nights of the week for meetings - the internet is always open! | |
|
The HG&DMRS is broad based group with approximately 60 members. They have several modelling projects in various stages of completion ranging in scales from 2mm/foot through to 7mm/foot. | |
|
The Macclesfield Model Railway Group exists to
help and encourage members in their modelling and general railway
interest. The club is active in many model railway scales and gauges.

The Group meets regularly at Staveley, Chesterfield, on a social basis to build and operate model railways and to foster interest in railways in general. A friendly bunch, and adventurous, as they are the first Group to invite us to exhibit Attam Bank at their Bakewell show in 2009. |
