The Gauge O Guild

What Guild membership offers

 

 

Guild Publications

Our quarterly Gazette, an all colour publication usually running to 96 pages, is posted to all members. All Gazettes, from the very first newsletter in 1956 are available to members on line with a searchable index. An informative newsheet accompanies each Gazette with news of members' and groups' activities and notice of forthcoming events, sales and wants etc. In addition the Guild's comprehensive technical manual is available to members only, and the whole manual is also on line.

Traders' products

Traders now offer a huge range of products for the Gauge O Modeller. The Guild website contains a page with over 500 links to traders websites as well as full contact details for each trader.
The product directory contains over 22,000 products which members can use to find that elusive product be it a complete kit or a part.

Local and national events

Our shows at Kettering (March), Doncaster (June) and particularly the convention at Telford each September, contain layouts to inspire, skilled demonstrators to help you, a bring and buy stand, and numerous trade stands offering the vast range of models and equipment now available in this superb scale. The Telford convention also features the annual competition and AGM.
