Aberdeen Model Railway Club

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.

We have been very quiet the last while.. don't worry we have been busy!

First up a reminder of the AGM this Wednesday at 1931 on club premises.

Now onto the interesting bit. The middle of this year a few members were interested in upgrading the clubrooms, in particular the workshop area. After 10 months of work this is where we land now. I attached a photo of just as the first of the work was taking place and then what it looks like now. With some time and effort by these members including some of our more younger members we have managed to wall, paint, fit new lights, install safety switches ready for equipment placement, dividing walls, roof supports and much more! A big thank you to the team doing the work to improve our clubroom premises.

We will be getting photos shortly

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.
