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.
