The Marlow, Maidenhead & District Model Railway Club was formed in 1968 and provides a focal point for a friendly and active group of modellers from as far afield as Wokingham, Earley, Twyford, Reading and High Wycombe, as well as the more local areas in and around Maidenhead and Marlow. With many members coming some distance, lifts are often available.
We meet weekly in Marlow, where we have our own dedicated, permanent clubrooms, featuring a comprehensive library of books and magazines, workrooms, club stores and fixed test tracks in all the main gauges up to and including O, as well as 4 current layout projects: 'Shirebeck-in-Emswell' in EM gauge, the N gauge 'Pollington', a new OO gauge continuous run layout under construction and our new end to end 7mm 0 gauge layout currently under construction which is yet to be named.
Our members' modelling interests cover most scales and eras, from early steam to modern diesels, N gauge to O gauge, (via the popular 4mm scales - OO/EM/P4) and not forgetting interests in European and North American as well as British railways! There's always someone to give guidance or lend a helping hand.
During the course of the year, we have a limited programme of events to entertain and inform including the annual modelling and photographic competition. The competition has a number of categories and all members are encouraged to enter regardless of perceived abilities - a sample of last year's entries are shown:
Our club is always looking to recruit new members, so if you would like to get involved with one of our projects you would be made most welcome. In the first instance please contact us via the website and one of the committee will invite you to one of our club nights as a guest.
Membership is payable annually with the membership year starting at the AGM. Members joining part way through a year pay pro-rata for the remaining period. |
