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. 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 before opening another one.


The next main exhibition held by the Heywood Model Railway Group will be held on 15th and 16th March 2014 at Warwick Mill Middleton
