HILLINGDON RAILWAY MODELLERS OPEN DAY -- SAT 29th OCTOBER


The next confirmed date for the hall is on Saturday 29th October, I will update when the others are confirmed but they tend to be every couple of months and there's usually another one shortly before Xmas. 

Yiewsley Baptist Church
74 Colham Avenue
West Drayton
UB7 8HF

* the entrance is at the side of the church down a path and the doors at the end should be open, don't try and enter the main doors of the church. 


These are excellent events laid on by the members of the society, but we must stress they are NOT exhibitions, but an Open Day to show off their various layouts and test tracks, and an opportunity to see many fine models running. 

Visitors are more than welcome to bring their own stock and give them a run there is a small cover charge to contribute to the cost of the Church Hall and refreshments are on sale throughout the day. 

Doors open from 10am and there's activity throughout the day until about 4pm. 




Here's a few pictures from some of last years Open Days, though I personally tend to focus on the O Gauge test track there are also Test Tracks available for OO and N Gauge too. 

 



People will bring a wide variety of stock to run, nearly all are kit built though and the skills / detail is incredible. 

Everyone will get their turn I promise.






This picture gives a good idea of the size of the O Gauge test track, you can give your models a really good work out here.


This can also transform into an exhibition layout called Grindley Brook a scenic section replaces the long straight down the back.
