Coleford

We are a group of people who met through the 009 Society. We are interested in all aspects of narrow gauge modelling including 009 (4mm scale),  O-16.5 (7mm scale) a.k.a NG7,  others like live steam; most things are interesting to us.

We currently have around 24 members from all over Oxfordshire, and if you would like to come along to one of our meetings you would be most welcome. We usually have a monthly 'Zoom' meeting and a monthly meeting in person at Sibford Village Hall (about 8 miles from Banbury) for some chat, operating our modular layout, “show and tell” what we‘ve been up to, practising for exhibitions, planning trips and, of course, tea and cake.  We also have an email group which is in almost daily use.

Some of our group are members of the "009 Society", others belong to the "7mm Narrow Gauge Association".  We have a large 009 modular layout which we've successfuly exhibited on many occasions since 2022.  Five members are now developing a 7mm scale O-16.5 modular layout using similar standards to the 009 modules.

Our next open day will be on 21st June 2025 at Sibford Village Hall, Oxfordshire, OX13 6RR.  We will be exhibiting our own modular layouts and members other layouts.

Several of us have layouts which we exhibit around the country. Please get in touch using the Contact page if you are interested in our modular layout for your exhibition or Open Day.

One of our members, John Wilkes, has written a book about his modelling experiences – The Coleford Railway Story. It‘s available from Narrow Planet. See more details here.
