Thamesiders MRG is an active group of model railroad enthusiasts with layouts representing North American railroads in both N and HO scales. Watch the video below to find out more!

Next Meeting:

Our next physical meet at the St Osyth Village Hall, CO16 8PE, will be the Annual Open House in conjunction with the NMRA BR Summer Meet on Saturday 16 May 2026.

We will be open to the public from 10am, running the layouts as close to exhibition standard as possible, with refreshments, second hand sales, the British Region library and a local model shop in attendance to show support. We aim to keep things going until 3:30pm, when we start to pack everything away.

The Open House is the best opportunity to see our modelling in action. With the above information we hope you also understand there is no April physical meet due to the hall’s temporary closure.
