Location

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. 

O Gauge - A huge room filling oval with 4 main running tracks and 8 road yard so there's plenty of space to give your large models a good run, whether they are small 0-4-0 dock tanks like my Dad's kits (above) or a beast of an LNER A4, GWR West Country or even a BR Diesel they'll not just be very welcome but will look great pulling a full rake of coaches. I believe at least one track is DCC compliant but please check with one of the members who are always on hand to give advice and assistance.  

OO Gauge - usually in the back room but still an extensive operation here the OO gauge test track consists of five oval loops. Three of these loops can be operated under DC only, one of the loops is solely for DCC use and the remaining loop can be operated on DC or DCC, best to check with one of the available HRM Members who are always on hand to help.

N Gauge - Used to have a test track which due to the size needed could pop up almost anywhere, this may well have changed in appearance as the N Gauge side of the club has increased and I'm sure more and more options including a new layout are in progress. 

An entry fee is charged to help cover the cost of the hall rental with the Church, £5 is still good value as you are helping a group of Modellers continue with their efforts and while this isn't an 'exhibition' it is a running day, bring your models along or just have a chat and enjoy the excellent refreshments on offer too.
