The HORNBY RAILWAY COLLECTORS ASSOCIATION (HRCA) CORNWALL GROUP usually meets on the second Saturday of each month at CAMBORNE COMMUNITY CENTRE (linked) Camborne Community Centre

We warmly welcome new members - experts, dabblers, those with their own layouts at home and those without. Don't hesitate - come to a meeting, enjoy good company, lots of trains to watch and operate. If you decide you would like to join, the subscription is only £5-00 for a whole year! As well as monthly meetings, we present and take part in various model railway exhibitions throughout the year.
Members' interests focus on HORNBY DUBLO (3 rail), Hornby Dublo 2 rail, Hornby 0 gauge electric and clockwork, Hornby 00 gauge. However many other types / makes of model rail are also embraced such as Lionel, Triang, Bassett Lowke, LGB, Trix etc.
Members also exhibit a variety of other displays including Meccano, model fairgrounds, toy soldiers, dolls houses, items for sale, Dinky Models, and "novelties". It cannot be said that the HRCA Cornwall Branch is one track minded!
We are also closely linked to The MOSELEY HERITAGE MUSEUM where members maintain several large permanent layouts and where we also hold occasional meetings. See the page on this website for a link.
