The
society was formed in 1985 when a group of friends rented a small
clubroom in Cleethorpes and built a layout named May Street Junction,
early construction faults brought problems, so in the late 1980's a new
layout was planned.
After
fifteen years of working in cramped conditions, the society moved into a
larger building (In Grimsby) were we now have three 'OO'gauge & one
Scalefour working layouts.
Club
nights are every Wednesday and Friday from 7.30pm. Evenings are taken up
with layout building, making scenery and electrics. When we can we keep
our hand in at operating the layouts, (playing trains).
The
ground floor "progressively being modernized" we have space
for two of the clubs layouts to be erected, along with work benches
where you can repair or build models for club or home layout, storage
cupboards and the kitchen sink. We are also building up a useful
library of books, videos and magazines.
Upstairs
along with one layout the Northern Lincolnshire area group of the N
Gauge society
are now at home, meeting on the 1st & 3rd Thursdays of the
month.
New
members of all ages are always welcome. We always make time for coffee
and a chat about modeling or railway topics. For further information go
to the contacts link above. Come and meet us.
The aims of the society are to help improve everyone's modeling skills
and to promote the hobby of railway modeling.
