GAUGE O GUILD

Swansea Railway Modellers Group

In addition to our regular events, the key one for 2025 is the annual Model Railway Show. This is a major event with 20 layouts in a variety of scales, 8+ Traders, Societies and more. It is being again being held at the Swansea Leisure Centre (LC2) on Oystermouth Road near the City Centre on September 13th /14th 2025 from 10.00. Previous shows have been very well attended and this coming one promises to be the same. The great benefit of our show is that it draws in both the model railway enthusiast community as well as local families and last year generated a number of new members, particularly younger ones. Our pricing reflects this with an entry price of £10 for adults and just £1 for accompanied children under 16. The show is well worth a visit!

Wirral O Gauge Group

We are pleased to announce that we are now settling into our new Clubroom in New Brighton - full details above Due to the great reduction in space, we have had to reduce the main layout size to 21' x 15' and have decided to have 4 continuous running tracks - the outer three wired for DC & DCC and the inner track wired for 2 & 3 rail running and have our new (under construction) exhibition layout - Monson Road 21' 2' DCC, sat on a shelf unit running above the main layout. See track plan below. Please note that we no longer have a website, you can still catch us on Facebook

Liverpool and West Lancs. 'O' Gauge Group (LAWLOGG)

Only three weeks ahead of our OPEN DAY (Sat. 17th May 2025), the baseboards for our new modern-image wagon works have just landed at our clubrooms, 3 miles north of Liverpool city centre. They were made in our treasurer's garage and brought in the back of his car ... which is the whole point - a compact modern-image exhibition layout that should avoid the need to hire a van. We expect to see it develop over the next year or two and, working in conjunction with members of the Merseyside Area Group of MERG (which meets monthly at LAWLOGG), we hope to use it as a learning ground for developing our knowledge and experience with the NMRA’s licence-free open-standard for LCC (Layout Command Control), which does for points, signals, sounds, lights, animations etc., what DCC did for traction – greatly simplified wiring on a 2-wire bus system that's inter-operable with commercial units from multiple manufacturers or DIY modules. Time will tell! Feel free to bring your O-gauge stock for a run and see it for yourself, along with our four existing layouts at our open day. Admission free (donations welcome). Free parking. Public transport nearby. Light refreshments. Demonstrations. Pick up a used bargain! (Go to LAWLOGG.UK/VISIT for more details.)
