| Welcome to the Heywood Model Railway Group Website | ||||

||||
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. |

Our next main exhibition will be on March 19th and 20th 2011 at Heywood Civic Centre. |
