What are we about?

We are interested in building visually accurate working scale models in 4mm scale 18.83mm gauge. This includes developing modelling techniques and methods (many of which are also applicable to other gauges) which can be seen on this website.

Our members have diverse backgrounds and skills. We are always working to improve what we do and seek new and different ideas and solutions to improve our modelling.

Our Green Street layout is in development and provides ample opportunities for people's active involvement in the Group's activities.

We are well placed for those who live or work in the London area (tea and coffee is provided).

We meet on Thursday evenings, near Highbury Corner N1. If you're interested in what we do, come along and pay us a visit. 		click to close this box
