Visiting

Wednesday is club night

We meet every Wednesday evening at our club room near Broughton in the Test Valley. Some nights are for building, some for operating, and some for Show and Tell or a talk from an outside speaker.

Visitors are always welcome. Let us know you’re coming so someone can look out for you, and remember your first three club nights are free.

Some members also go along to the local Gauge O Guild group, which meets at Sparsholt Village Hall.

Come and say hello. We’re always happy to chat about how a layout was built, and some shows have members demonstrating modelling skills too.
