Monthly Club News

June 2025 - Sunday 1st June 2025 marked the 58th anniversary of the formation of the Redditch Model Railway Club. On the evening of Thursday 1st June 1967 a meeting was held at the White Hart Public House in Headless Cross in Redditch which resulted in the Redditch Model Railway Club being formed. In terms of the Saltley layout we have completed all 6 boards and the legs to support them. Work is now centred on the fitting of the baseboard joiners. Work is also continuing on the buildings for Norgrove.

May 2025 - We started this month with The exhibition of our Arrowmouth layout at the Severn Valley Railway model railway event over the weekend of the 3rd & 4th May 2024. The layout was well received by the visitors. We are continuing with the construction of the baseboards for the Saltley layout and buildings for the Norgrove layout. We have also made some minor repairs to Arrowmouth followings its visit to the Severn Valley Railway.

April 2025 - We started the month by continuing to make buildings for the Norgrove layout as well as making the extra baseboards we need for the Saltley TMD layout. We ended the month by taking the Temple Bridge layout to the second Key Model World Event at the NEC over the weekend of the 26th and 27th April. The layout was well received by the visitors.

March 2025 - We started the month by staging the 52nd Redditch Model Railway Exhibition over the weekend of the 1st and 2nd March. Our decision to move the show date from September to March last year was further vindicated with another successful show. Work has continued in making buildings for our Norgrove layout together with further planning for the Saltley TMD layout

February 2025: Work has started on the Saltley TMD layout. We have decided to add some extra baseboards as part of the adaption of making it a viable exhibition layout. We are planning to model more of the surrounding buildings at the depot to add to the interest for the spectator at an exhibition. Work on this layout will step up after our March exhibition. We are spending time preparing for the show including sorting out the stock we have for our club second hand stall for the show. 

January 2025: We started the new year with the arrival of our new exhibition layout Saltley TMD. This part finished layout will now be finished by club members in the coming months. Work also continues on making building for our Norgrove layout.
