Olney Model Railway Club - Home Page


This is a site for people who want to improve their knowledge of equipment and modelling technique and who would like to join a club of like minded people within the Milton Keynes, South Northants and North West Bedfordshire area.

Welcome to the Olney Model Railway Club Website.


The club, founded on the 25th February 1993, is small and friendly and currently has a membership of 16.

We are seeking more new members of any level of skill and experience, from beginners to experts, to assist in building the layouts, or just to run their trains on a much larger track than most people have available at home.

The club is affiliated to the CMRA - the Chiltern Model Railway Association. For their Home Page, click here.


Contents and Layout Guide.

The site is divided into eight sections, with navigation bars at the top and bottom of each page. There is also a repeat of the navigation aid in the left hand margin.

Please note that the Project Progress Page is under development at the moment. We should be ready by the end of September 2010.

A new section has been added, called Articles. The first article is called "Electrics and Model Railways" and is a beginner's guide to wiring a model railway.

A further section called Special Event has been included, which gives details of the Wolverton Works Open Weekend.

Railcare have postponed this event until Summer next year 2011.

See the event website, click here for all the details.

Hello Malcolm, hope you are well. A good meeting last night (Thursday). We managed to finalise the arrangements for our forthcoming exhibition Saturday week, hopefully it will all come together as planned. The possibility of a grant for future development looks interesting.

The new room is taking shape and is an ideal modelling room. Perhaps you could let me know the correct name in the Newport extract. I think the American N guage project is a good one to document on the site.

I have just noticed that we are mentioned on the CRMA exhibition diary, the URL works as well - result!!

You have probably seen it already, but Olney and District Historical Society have an article about the Northampton - Olney - Bedford line, which might be of interest. Scope perhaps for a new project? Click here for the article.
All the best, John.

The next Club meeting will be held on Thursday 9 September 2010. Full details can be found by clicking on Club Night.
