About Merseyside Model Railway Society
The Model Railway Society is here for anyone who wants to take part in the fascinating hobby of railway modelling. If you want to have fun modelling railways, in whatever scale and to whatever standard you want and are able, then we welcome you!
Merseyside Model Railway Society Description
The Society purchased the premises in summer 2013 and this has resulted in an expansion of modelling space: We now have five (nearly) completed layouts; and five in earlier stages of construction. These include Cwmbach-yn-Triardd (Great Western, OO) - now being rebuilt, Banks Road (Modern Traction, OO) and Market Northop (TT) - the TT group has now finished a new, exhibition-sized, TT layout - East Baston. The EM group took West Kirby Joint to exhibition and is now extending it with a model of Hadlow Road. In the smallest scale the N-gauge group has two British outline layouts under construction. A new American HO layout, based on the Norfolk & Western in the 1940s and 50s is being started using the fiddle yard from Mauch Chunk, which has moved on. Also under construction are a large OO finescale layout (LMS steam and other)) and a new, as yet unnamed, modern image OO layout.
