Chrisd346 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Just wondering if there are any other railway enthusiasts or clubs here in N.I. I am in the Limavady area. Keen to learn from others as at 31, I am quite young at this game! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunslet 102 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Some clubs that I am aware of that may be of interest are :- North Down Model Railway Society based in Bangor,1st Bangor Model Railway Club also based in Bangor,surprisingly! and the Ulster Model Railway Club based in Belfast.All 3 of the above clubs have their own websites which would give you more information on them.There is also the Erne Model Railway Club based in Enniskillen but dont know much about them. North Down Model Railway Society will be holding their annual exhibition on Sat and Sun 20/21/4/13 at Bangor leisure centre,this is reckoned to be one of the best shows in Ireland. A bit closer to home for you and happening this weekend,Sat 23/3/13 is a railfest being held in Castlerock in the Peter Thompson hall.Killagan from this forum will be on display along with North Down MRS Ballyclare layout and a couple of N gauge layouts from 1st Bangor.

Chrisd346 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Thanks, looks like it could be a good day out. I know Castlerock isnt very big but can anyone tell me exactly where the hall is that will host the layouts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Mc Comb Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 HI, I have just finished a website for the Northern Counties Group on the history of the LMSNCC, could be worth a look. http://www.lmsncc.org/ with some links to various clubs and exhibitions.

colmflanagan Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Hugh has gone a great job, but just in case any of you are wondering, some sections (for example, the "modelling" section) are far from being completed and still need a good bit of work done, so be patient!. WE hope to add more material as we have time. But I hope everyone will enjoy it. Colm F Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitehouseFilms Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I'm chairman of a small club thats been set up in Crumlin, Co Antrim. We're based in the Crumlin Men Shed but hope someday to have a premise of our own to allow more club layouts to be made. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
