Olney Model Railway Club - Home Page
This is a site for people who want to improve their knowledge of equipment and modelling technique and who would like to join a club of like minded people within the Milton Keynes, South Northants and North West Bedfordshire area.
An Urgent Message
The Olney Model Railway Club has been given notice to quit the permanent club rooms at the Old Stable Block of The Carlton House Club. We are therefore urgently looking for a new permanent home to build and display our club layouts and allow members to meet, construct models and run their own locomotives and rolling stock.
If there is anyone who is able to rent the club suitable permanent premises in the Olney area,
please contact The Club Secetary Malcolm Haynes, on Telephone No.01234 241686, or by email at:
malcolm@olneymrc.org.uk.
We are now meeting in the Olney Centre Room 3 on Thursday evening 7.00pm until 10.00pm, until a more permanent home is available.
Welcome to the Olney Model Railway Club Website.
The club, founded on the 25th February 1993, is small and friendly and currently has a membership of 21.
We are seeking more new members of any level of skill and experience, from beginners to experts, to assist in building the layouts, or just to run their trains on a much larger tracks than most people have available at home.
The club is affiliated to the CMRA - the Chiltern Model Railway Association. For their Home Page, click here.
Contents and Layout Guide.
The site is divided into eleven sections, with a navigation bar at the top of each page.
A section has been added, called Articles. The first article is called "Electrics and Model Railways" and is a beginner's guide to wiring a model railway.
A further section called Olney Station Project has been included. We will add to the page as the project
takes shape. To accompany the new page Barrie has written an in depth article on the history of the
Northampton to Bedford Railway (added to in March 2016).
A second article has been added to that page,
describing a special passenger train journey along the line in the summer of 1951.
The latest page to be added is the Current Layouts page, describing the three layouts currently being worked on by members of the club.
The latest photographs showing the progress of the Olney Station Project have been added to that page.
