East Surrey 16mm Group

     We meet regularly at Merstham Village Hall, Station Road North, Merstham, Surrey RH1 3ED (off Junction 8 of the M25) or by train to Merstham station - and a 3 minute walk. When? The first, third and fifth (when applicable) Friday of every month from 7 to 10pm. See the 'Contact/ Find us' tab for map.

     At our meetings we run trains on one of our layouts. Members run live steam (coal, gas or meths fuelled) as well as battery powered models of internal combustion locomotives. Advice is freely available to guests as well as members. If you would like to come along to some of our meetings please use our our information line on 020 7043 5514 to check that we are running.

     16mm members are also very flexible in their approach and few count rivets or spend weeks deciding on the correct shade of black for their latest creation (although we do have some such devotees - read about their current projects in our Oily Rag newsletter.) We aim to enjoy our modelling regardless of our abilities or following in a convivial atmosphere.

     As a group, we run two increasingly popular All Day Steamings for 16mm Association members in March and October; often the first Saturday of either month but check before travelling. These attract a number of traders, a second hand stall and a variety of layouts that you may come and run on. We look forward to seeing you there!
