| Welcome to the Heywood Model Railway Group Website | |||||||
The Heywood Model Railway Group meets on Monday evenings (but not bank holidays) between 19:00 and 22:00 at the Champness Hall Drake Street Rochdale. There is usually club members on site most Wednesdays from around 10:00 to about 14:00 so it is possible to visit us then as well. We have our own rooms 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" gauge through to "O" gauge. Members own 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 construction. 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 the secretary or by making a personal visit Monday evenings 19:00 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 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. You can visit the.... 
....page for details of our next exhibition and other forthcoming Model
Railway events within a reasonable driving distance from Heywood.

The Group currently has over 35 permanent members and normally holds a full exhibition in March each year. Our next exhibition The main exhibition in March 2010 will again be held at Heywood Civic Centre. At the time of writing there is plenty of free parking at and near the Civic Centre. |

The Guestbook A new format guestbook has been added to replace the older version that was being heavily "Spammed". This version requires you to enter a code from a graphic at the foot of the page, so should help to prevent the "Viagra" brigade from running automated scripts to post adverts in the book. Please feel free to read or add your comments to the book. |
