Modellers Section
The Modellers are a section of the Society working in smaller scales. We were formerly known as the Brooklands Model Railway Group which had been formed about 1970. Over the next thirty years we used premises at Weybridge, Byfleet and Horsell (two sites). It became part of the Society when we moved to the home of Mizens Railway at the Barrs Lane site in 2000. Many of the modellers then also became very active in Mizens Railway.
We currently have three 4mm exhibition layouts; two in OO (one being finescale) and one to P4 standards. These three layouts are shown below.
Our 00-gauge layout "Thirdley", set in the North-West during WWII, was exhibited at the REC show at Woking Leisure Centre in September, 2012, 2013 and 2017, and at the Astolat Model Circle Exhibition in Guildford in January 2015. Our smaller 00-gauge layout "Millford" and out P4 layout "Sankley" have had several exhibition appearances
Our new N-gauge layout appeared at the Crawley Model Railway Society's Exhibition at Horsham on 22nd-23rd April 2017 and at the Tolworth Show Train Exhibition on 11-12 November 2017.
Other interests of our members include EM (1:76 on 18∙2mm gauge), 16mm (1:19 on 32mm gauge), On30 (American 1:48 O scale on HO track), G (1:20∙3 on 45mm gauge) and, of course, 7¼ inch gauge. There is also growing interest in DCC.
Work has started on a new 00-gauge project incorporating a loco depot and townscene with a tram layout.
We also have an active younger membership which is currently building a 00-gauge layout called "Penworth".
The Modelling section meets at the Barrs Lane site on Tuesday evenings from 7.00pm to 10.00pm. Please ask for one of the modellers during a Mizens Railway running session if you want to visit us on a meeting night.
