Founded in 1977, Cupar & District Model Railway Club is a small but very friendly club with members from a varied background and ages, but with a common interest in Railways and model making. We organise the annual Cupar Model Rail that is normally held in the Corn Exchange every July along with a number one day Christmas show in December.
We have a number award winning exhibition layouts in OO
, HO, ON30 and O scale operating in DC and DCC. A new HO DC Layout "Williamson River” is currently under construction in the club room by club members. We also have an N Gauge layout under construction by a member. We attend many local shows, including those in Glenrothes, Perth, St Andrews, Dundee, check out our Exhibition Diary for this years plans.

Membership is open to anyone over 14, with an interest in railways. You can get involved as much or as little as you like, our members have a variety of skill sets and are always happy to give help and advice.
