Amersham and Chorleywood Model Railway Society

We were at Amersham's 2026 Heritage Day on the 6th September

We showed two layouts, Quarry Halt a 4mm 00 gauge layout which has been to Heritage Days before, and a Narrow Gauge layout to 009 gauge called Talybont.

For members the new running sessions listing is available here.

Chesham MRS 50th Anniversary Exhibition
Another outing for Quarry Halt this time to support Chesham Model Railway Society's 50th Anniversary Exhibition on March 2nd 2025.

We are a small group who meet in our own club room in Chorleywood and always welcome new members. Most of our members model UK railways from various parts of the country.

So if you live in Amersham, Little Chalfont, Chorleywood or areas nearby and want to get involved with model railways, contact us by email - aandcmrs@gmail.com and come along to a running session.

The club has layouts in gauges "O", "OO" and "OO9". The test track has "OO", "EM", "3mmFS", "N/009", "HOm" and "TT:120".

The '0' gauge layout has been undergoing some relaying and rewiring. Scenic work still remains to be completed, but the trackwork is ready for running as required.

The '00' gauge layout has also been undergoing major works, particularly to the station area. All the trackwork is now laid and is ballasted. There remains plenty to do still, especially on the scenic side!

There is a second 'OO' layout primarily designed for exhibiting, Quarry Halt. It has had several successful outings, the most recent at Amersham's Heritage Day in September 2026. More pictures here.

John brought the 009 layout out of storage and it has been run successfully for sessions in the club hut, and so was also shown at Heritage Day 2026.

Some members have a layout at home, and our chairman has a magnificent "OO" layout in the garden.

Most of us buy ready-to-run models and enhance them to varying degrees, others prefer to build from kits. The ready availability of R-T-R in 4mm and 7mm means most of us use them at running sessions.

If you are already a railway modeller, want to pick it up again or are just starting out, then come along and see what we do. Contact us using our email address: aandcmrs@gmail.com
