The Corby & District Model Railway Society, founded in 1965, meets on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7:30pm at its club house in Quarry Close, off Kelvin Grove, Corby. NN17 1AZ

C&DMRS has several layouts from T & Z gauge/scale though to 5 inch gauge via OO & HO and organises at least one exhibition every year, so local modellers can show their skills.

New members are always welcome to come along and join in the fun, as well as those seeking advice on repairs or how to do something on their own model railways.

We also hold events on site and can host birthday parties, involving the use of the club premises, which includes unlimited rides on our 200 metres of ride on railway. Please see booking page for more details.

 Latest Updates - August 2021

Welcome to the brighter side of 2021.
During the pandemic and lockdown months we, at the club, have had some success in completing a few of the projects that were ongoing.

Kelmarsh Hall approached us with the view of borrowing a coal themed layout but as we didn't have one, we decided to build one for them. This is now nearing completion with the delivery date to be confirmed. The layout has a representation of Kelmarsh station on one side and a colliery loading screen on the other.

On the Pacer, we now have a set of steps to allow members and visitors the chance to view 55831 internally. A permanent sets of stairs will be built at the rear of the unit in due course.

The new signalling on the 5 inch miniature railway has been thoroughly tested with just a few minor tweaks to be completed and has been confirmed as safe to operate.

Also on the 5 inch gauge railway subject, work has progressed well with the portable track trailer nearing completion. This will allow us to carry more equipment on the trailer as opposed to filling up the backs of cars. The loco box has been engineered to carry 2 locomotives at a time if needed.
