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 25 July 2026.

We apologise to any punter which may have visited our venue in June to find we were not present or not running anything; the heat had done a number on several of our members and those that were able to still attend, decided on maintenance tasks of a few HO scale boards.

Weather again permitting, we hope to have a more significant session in July, where our usual potential train times start 11:00am at the earliest and 3:30pm at the latest. Again, we may be doing maintenance and/or the prospect of further instances of heatwaves may see the trains not run until we’re properly clear of summer.

The NMRA British Region convention in October is your next and final opportunity this year to see the HO layout in exhibition standard.
