North Fylde Model Railway Club:

Like many other clubs, North Fylde has, in its fairly short life, been here, there and everywhere but at last it has settled in a fairly
spacious building at Carleton where it meets regularly on Monday nights from 7.00 pm to 10pm. The club rooms afford space for some
private projects but it is mainly used for club layouts.

Rents have to be paid and materials purchased so the club costs £130 a year to join with payments staggered to meet individual’s
pockets. At the cost of a pint or two it presents good value for anyone who wants to develop or learn talents, enjoy train-talk, a laugh
and afterwards, for some, a pint.

There are a wide variety of talents held by members with experts in woodwork, wiring, track laying, scenics etc. Most members buy
‘off the shelf’ locos & rolling stock but some have impressed us with their skills at loco building.

The club has a periodic magazine in which members can put articles, has one or two social functions and has three weekends when they exhibit their layouts. These are normally held in February, July & September.
Sept being the flagship exhibition of the club with layouts & traders from all parts of the UK.
