About Us
Epsom and
Ewell Model Railway Club was formed in 1952 and for nearly 70
years it has encouraged
and continues to encourage a wide variety of modelling from large scale layouts
to individual projects. We meet every Monday evening plus 12 Saturdays a year.
We have model
railway layouts (see separate tab) in five main gauges:
- O Gauge–
7mm to the foot (a new layout is currently in planning)
- P4 - 4mm
to the foot
- OO
Gauge– 4mm to the foot
- N Gauge–
2mm to the foot
- 2mm
Finescale
Many of
our members model UK railways with layouts are based on both real and imagined places.
The club has modellers that specialise in EM, Isle of Man 7mm narrow gauge,
American and Australian narrow gauge. The club also has close ties with the
Surrey Society of Model Engineers and their live steam outdoor track in
Leatherhead.
There is also a small
but growing junior section with their own layout.
We are an active club with up
to 40 members meeting on a Monday night in a bright, recently built, hall that
is supported by a large store building and modern kitchen. It is also important
to note that the building has a level access and disabled toilets.
Our membership is drawn from a wide area- including not only Epsom,
Ewell and adjoining boroughs but also, Guildford and Woking to the west; and
Burgess Hill, Reigate and Dorking to the south.
The Club is a focal point where members come together and share common interests in railways and model railways. There are
opportunities for operating or working on the layouts; or bringing an
individual piece of work for discussion in a friendly and constructive
atmosphere.
The club plays a role in the community of Epsom & Ewell with an
annual exhibition at NESCOT — long regarded as a show of the highest quality — plus
an annual open day at the church hall.
If you are still not sure? Just come along, talk to us, have a cup of tea,
and enjoy a warm welcome.
