Come and meet the Clay Cross Model Railway Society at our open house on 11th May 2014

Held at the Wingerworth Church Centre, All Saints Church , Longedge Lane, Wingerworth S42 6PU between 10:00 and 16:00

Attending will be at least 2 of the club layouts, Hindlow (00 gauge) and Chesterfield Road (0n16.5), and several members layouts. Also present will be the "Loco Doctor" to help with any loco problems and a secondhand trader. Light refreshments will also be available.

Sadly due to the configuration of the Church Centre some exhibits may not be available to those with Disabilities.

 

We are a long established local society with a large new meeting room in Clay Cross and looking to attract new members.

The Clay Cross Model Railway Society is a Charitable Trust with the objective of advancing the education of the public in all aspects of railways and model railways. In order to fulfill this objective we have erected a new meeting room in Clay Cross in which to build fine-scale model railways, accurately representing the railway heritage of the East Midlands. We hope to exhibit these model railway layouts to the public at exhibitions throughout the country.

In order to build better layouts, we shall study our railway heritage and improve our modelling skills through structured and mutual improvement. If you want to build better model railways, please come along and see what we have to offer.
