About the club


Founded in 1966, we are one of the most popular model railway societies Greater Manchester/North Cheshire, with a significant number of members (currently over 40).

The Society currently has layouts in O; HO/OO (American and British), 009 and N gauges, and we would like to take this opportunity to invite you to visit our club rooms to take a look around, have a chat with the members and take a cup of tea with us – all for free!

Why not check-out our annual Open Day, held at our Club rooms in June and our annual Exhibition at Woodford War Memorial Community Centre held on the last weekend of October, please see the Exhibition and Open Day pages for full details.

So, if you’re considering dipping your toes into the world of model railways; or maybe you’ve started a layout but got stuck and need some help, or you’re just plain curious, get in contact or come and see us one club night.

Please visit the Exhibition page for details of exhibitors, traders and demonstrators

We are intending to run a series of Mutual Improvement Classes that will be open to all Club members. These will cover topics of interest to novice modellers as well as the more experienced. An opportunity not to be missed! Why not join us now?

Club nights and how to find us


The Club currently meets on Monday and Friday evenings from 19:30 to 22:00 In addition, on an occasional basis, we have Saturday sessions to allow layouts to be left up overnight. (This is dependent on other bookings for the rooms, and sufficient demand from the layouts). We meet at the Methodist Church Hall, Wesley Street, Hazel Grove, Stockport SK7 4JQ. (Location map)

Please go to the car park at the rear of the building and ring the upper left-hand door bell on the blue double doors for admittance.

Please note that we do not meet on any of the following Bank and Statutory Holidays – Good Friday, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Years Day.

Hazel Grove railway station is 5-10 minutes walk. The 192 bus service from Manchester city centre to Rising Sun (Hazel Grove) runs frequently along the A6 Buxton Road. You should alight at Hazel Grove Civic Hall. See Transport for Greater Manchester for current train and bus timetables.

Members' private projects


Club nights give an opportunity for Members to work on private projects as well as Club ones.

One of our newer members has built “Rockport” which is now being well received on the Exhibition Circuit. The layout has many music related links on the shop dioramas, so is well worth careful inspection.

The “144 challenge” is such a project. The downloadable narrative tells the story of how one member faced up to the challenge of creating a prize-winning diorama of no more than 144 square inches, including as many types of transport as possible.

View the 144 challenge diorama narrative below
