2025 is 50 years since the first ever meeting of Farnham and District Model Railway Club. With 80 members spread across 5 groups we are still going strong.<\/p>\n

We meet every Wednesday<\/a> from 2.00 pm to 9.00pm. Our clubroom is in the Wrecclesham Community Centre, Greenfield Road, Wrecclesham, Farnham, Surrey GU9 8TJ .<\/p>\n26.02.26-WB-2026-02-Diary-Feb-26<\/a>\n

 <\/p>\n

New members are always welcome no matter whether an experienced modeller or just starting. We are rerunning our series of skills workshops<\/a> on the basics of railway modelling every month starting February 2026, aimed mainly at less experienced modellers.<\/p>\n

We have active groups<\/a> in O, OO, P4, 009, and N gauges. Our Brixcombe P4 layout is currently being extended, the N gauge group are working on a new model of Okehampton while still exhibiting Wickwar, the OO group have a new layout Hazelbury which has just started being exhibited, the O gauge group have Haydon Square on the exhibition circuit, and the OO9 group are building a new small layout. Club members also have interests in other scales and prototypes including gauge 1, 16mm, trams, and 2mm finescale. Two members are currently building a private 3mm scale layout, working on it in the clubroom.<\/p>\n

The club has test tracks<\/a> for O, OO, P4 and N gauge. We have at least 2 open days each year, and our big event is our exhibition every October. We also run a programme of demonstrations, presentations and events throughout the year.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately there is no step-free access to the club room as it is not provided by the council, but there is wheelchair access to the main hall on Wednesday afternoons and we offer a reduced membership rate for those unable to go up the steps.<\/p>\n

If you want to get involved in our club layouts and run your models why not come along one Wednesday and see what we do?<\/p>\n
