Market Deeping Model Railway Club

Market Deeping Model Railway Club Market Deeping Model Railway Club CIO Registered Charity No 118779 based in Lincolnshire to promote and further interest in model railways.

Celebrating over 40 years as a model railway club, we cater for N, OO, EM, and O Gauge modellers. We are currently in the course of looking for new premises and will update this information when we know more. Covid and club room permitting, meetings are weekly on Monday nights as a rule. We normally have great fun taking our layouts to exhibitions and if you join us, you can join in the fun too -

a weekend away playing trains - what more could you ask for! If you are organising an exhibition and wish to book a layout, please contact our show manager to discuss how we can help. Email [email protected]

We normally also have our own show in Stamford in May each year and we are also closely involved with BRM's annual Peterborough National Festival of Railway Modelling. If you are at all interested in model railways, please do get in touch.. Annual adult membership is just £40 as of 2020 and concessions are available for younger members.

Our hands on layout Mitchell Junction is on display at the NEC this weekend. A nice queue of kids awaiting cab control and station announcements of a camel on the line (a real Cardiff Canton problem with a circus escape).

In this our fifth book in this modelling series we undertake an excursion into a new scale, modelling in TT120. Falling between the popular stalwarts of OO and N, the Market Deeping club were challenged to create a display layout in this scale, based upon the Devon Riviera coastal railway. In doing so they explored the arguments for and against the scale. Working with the challenges of ‘if I have X space what will fit into it?’ and ‘if I am depicting a scenario what space do I need?’ the club engineered the line alongside the famed red cliffs beloved of so many holidaymakers to run with full length HST consists. We illustrate a single day at ‘Holcombe Beach’ near Teigmouth, with the approaching Great Storm of 1987. The reward at exhibition is immediate recognition of the coastal strip and a flood of reminiscences from viewers. We also created a plan B practice layout based on County Durham to fit the early Hornby steam rolling stock releases. The Market Deeping Club commenced writing modelling books after experiencing extensive vandalism of their annual Stamford model railway exhibition in May 2019. The skills built up in rebuilding damaged, or replacing broken layouts, has led to a nimble team able to put their skills into a scale where initial perception of size is difficult, and resources feel thin on the ground.
