About Us The Corby & District Model Railway Society was founded in 1965 and held its first meetings in the Tinderbox room of the Corby Candle public house. In 1966 C&DMRS held its first exhibition and moved into an ex-Home Guard hut/building in West Glebe Park. The building was used for many years until it was deemed unusable on Health and Safety grounds and was replaced by the current building, thus securing a future for the society.

The
society has enjoyed varied success over the years and sought to progress
further. In this we have recreated our 5" gauge ride on miniature
railway, Corby West Glebe Miniature Railway, and increased the
associated facilities. Recent years have seen the premises open to the
public with various events. 2020 now sees the society presented with a new challenge which could dictate the future of the society in its present form. We have proved to be rather resilient and look forward to the challenge.
This locomotive is currently being restored
at the Swindon and Cricklade Railway. |
