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 on Saturday 5 September 2026.

Our usual potential train times start 11:00am at the earliest and 3:30pm at the latest. Again, we may be doing maintenance on the HO Scale at least as this meet will be the HO’s last chance to see maintenance before the NMRA British Region convention in October, where it will be exhibiting alongside our members’ T-Trak contributions. The HO layout will be open to visitors whom would like to try out their DCC stock, and we intend to have some second chance sales.

The convention will be the next and final opportunity of 2026 to see the HO layout in exhibition standard; otherwise don’t forget we are running a quiz night on Saturday 21 November. Further details to follow after the meet on 5 September.
