Sodbury Vale MRC

A club for all railway modellers in South Gloucestershire.

We have members actively modelling railways in both DC and DCC in either N, OO, O and EM gauges and in various periods.

We have our own premises which offers many facilities. These include a workshop/tool room, a library, a spray booth, multiple modelling workstations, test tracks of various gauges (DC and DCC), and, a large open space to erect and run several layouts at the same time as well as open space for building layouts.

We meet on Tuesday mornings from 930am to midday, Tuesday evenings from 6.30pm to 8.30pm and on Thursday mornings from 9.30am until midday.

Our annual club exhibition was held on Saturday 1st March 2025. Full details of exhibitors, traders, societies and demonstrators are now listed on the Exhibition 2025 page. Thank you to all that supported us and all visitors to our exhibition. Also the ‘club’ gives a another big thank you to family and friends that 1) delivered all the exhibitor and stewards meals and refreshments, and, 2) delivered the catering and refreshments for all the visitors and general public that attended. Without your support and hard work this would not have been possible.

Our very first Railway Modelling Open Day event held in October 2024 at Lyde Green Community Centre was a tremendous success. We have started planning to hold another Open Day event on Sunday 5th October 2025 following this success.

The club is always grateful for donations of model railway items and we can collect in the local area. Please email us at the club via the ‘contact us’ page.
