Erith Model Railway Society

Brief History

Founded in June 1962, the society has been in existence for more than 40 years. It is very friendly and informal in nature and comprises people engaged in modelling railways in most scales including N, HO, OO and O. As well as modelling railways, the society holds video shows, an annual modelling contest and many social events. Members' families are more than welcome to attend any of the club organised events, such as dinners, - Christmas and Summer celebrations, held at a local family restaurant or pub - visits to prototype railways and rail-tours.

The society meets every Wednesday night in its Erith clubrooms, but we are in the enviable position of not having to share our facilities with anybody else so the rooms are available all week and the weekend. Some of our members also meet on a Tuesday evening to work on the various club layouts that we are currently building. To help our active 'project groups' we have set-up a 4-track 'OO' layout and a 2-track 'N' layout oval circuits; these are also available for other members to bring and test/ run their own stock.

The society is always looking for new members, particularly young members who will form the backbone of the society in coming years. If you are interested in joining a prosperous, busy and growing club why not contact us. We would be happy for you to visit the club on a Wednesday evening, where you will receive a warm welcome, get the opportunity to tour the rooms and see exactly what we get up to.
