The Heywood Model Railway Group's main meeting
time is on Monday evenings from 18:30 onwards at our premises on the
Heywood Distribution Park. See the how
to find us page for full details of how to get to our location and
our Postal Address.
There are usually
club members on site most Wednesdays as well from around 10:00 to about
14:00 so it is also possible to visit us then.
We have our own large area in the building where
several models are set up for maintenance or building work to be carried
out. These models are owned by the Group and range from "N"
through to "O" gauges. Members own personal Locomotives and
Rolling Stock being used on these models for exhibition purposes.
Although with the growth of DCC we have now puchased some "Modern
Image" locos with sound and some rolling stock for use on our new
layout "Lostwood Bridge" that is still under development. Some
of our existing models have also been converted to use either DCC or
Analogue for control at the flick of a switch.
Several of our club models and some of the
members own models have made visits to both the Group's own exhibition
and to those organized by other railway clubs.
Further
information about the Group and membership can be obtained by email to a
member of the committee or by making a
personal visit Monday evenings at 18:30 to 22:00 or on a Wednesday
between 10:00 and 14:00 to the group premises at the address shown
above. See the how to find us page.
The Group currently has
over 38 permanent members and normally holds a full exhibition in March
each year. Why not swell that number and join us?
The history of the Heywood Model Railway Group
can be found in the Archive pages.
Also in this section are some pictures of past models that have been
sold on to our own Group members or in some cases to members of the
public.
