Surrey Group

The Surrey Group

Our group was formed in 1998, and meets in the afternoon on the second Tuesday of each month. We are fortunate in being able to run on several excellent tracks at members’ homes, but we also visit from time to time the Gauge 1 track at the Sutton Model Engineering Club - well known to members from the annual GTG.

Boiler testing facilities are available, and the group contains several very experienced enthusiasts who are able to offer sound advice both on loco construction and on operation.

We look forward to welcoming new members. Please contact the meeting co-ordinator Alan England alan.england@ntlworld.com
