Heywood Model Railway Group is now located
on the ground floor at Warwick mill, Oldham Road Middleton in a part of
the section leased by the
Lighthouse
Project where we have a large area allowing us to have all the
current club models set up. It took us about 7 months of hard work to
make the area of the mill floor suitable for our needs. This included
erecting lots of stud walling and providing electrics and lighting.
Pictures of our completed club room can be
seen here and a photographic
record of some of the work involved can be
seen here.
The layouts in our club room range from N gauge at 16 feet through to
the O gauge which is over 40 feet long and there is always work going on
maintaining or improving them. Pictures and details of all our layouts
can be found by clicking on the links at the head of each page on this
site.
Many of our members also have their own layouts at home and several of
these layouts have attended exhibitions all over the country. Again
details of these can be found by clicking on the links to them lower
down this page.
Meetings are held at Warwick mill during the following times. Monday
evenings from 18:30 to 22:00 and Wednesday from 10:00 to about 14:00
If you are interested in joining the group then feel free to call in
and see us during the above times. Should you want more information
about our activities then you can send an email to any member of the
committee who will be pleased to give
you the details you require.
Also on this site is a "Technical Topics" section where there
is help and tips on several subjects connected with railway modelling.
These can be found via the link below or clicking
here.
The history of the Heywood Model Railway Group
can be found in the Archive pages.
Also in this section are some pictures of past models that have been
sold on to our own Group members or in some cases to members of the
public.
Many of the pictures on this site are less than the full size taken by
the camera. Hovering your mouse over the image will indicate if a larger
version is available. To see it in a larger size click on the image and
the full picture will open in a new window. Close the last image window
