Aberdeen Model Railway Club Aberdeen Model Railway Club Martin Cheshire and Donald Reid formed Aberdeen Model Railway Club in 1972.

The First Club premises was the billiard room in Martin’s House in Cults. Over time the club grew steadily with a group who covered all the scales available to railway modellers. By 1975 the club was exhibiting layouts locally and as a member of the Association of model Railway Societies in Scotland at various locations outwith Aberdeen. Layouts being exhibited included those built by the club as well as those belonging to individual club members. As the club grew premises were always an issue and the club has moved several times before ending up in its present location at Ferryhill under the umbrella of the heritage trust in the neighbouring shed. The club runs its own exhibition in Aberdeen each October as well as attending others in Scotland throughout the year. The club has something to offer members at all levels of the hobby and after 40 years of loyal membership can still count on its founding members within its ranks.

And with that it's all over for another year! Join us on the 30th and 31st October 2027 for our next Model Railway Exhib...

A big thanks first of all to all our Traders, Layouts, Societies who brought some brilliant stands to the show.

Secondly to The Bus Collection at Alford for Supplying and operating a free Heritage bus service throughout the full weekend in the various weathers we had.

Thirdly to Curl Aberdeen for giving us someone where to put the show that kept us safe from the elements to run the show, supplying some really fine bakes, Bacon rolls, sandwiches, coffees and soup to keep not only our Exhibition manger but all Exhibitors and you the public supplied for the day at the show.

And Last but Certainly not least. Every single person who attended and supported the show. Especially braving the winds and rain over the weekend. Then again it's Aberdeen we are talking about so just the norm! But seriously thank you for continuing to support it.

Now it's time for a rest but not for long as we attend Elgin Model Railway Club's Exhibition in a couple weeks time!
We hope to see you there, other shows and everywhere else!
Perhaps even at the clubrooms!

From a historic Italian ice stadium, Tom Brewster is working to make sure curling shines on the Olympic stage — and that the impact is felt back at the Aberdeen rink he manages.
