Throwback to our open day in 2024! -Take a quick look at one of our members: @closetotheedge.bsky.social layout. The heritage railway of Capel Hir.

Some fantastic layouts at the #Cardiffmodelrailwayexhibition this year. The details on some of them were superb.

Hauling at speed. #ngauge #ngaugemodelrailway

Sometimes taking the backboard off the #ttrack module and moving it to the front of the #ngaugelayout can give an entirely new perspective. #ngauge

Why we model #ngauge!

1:148 in scale but full scale length! 😁

#ngaugesociety #ngaugerailway

Please be on the lookout for these stolen locos.

Surely this is the perfect time to do some modelling!

Because you can never have enough DMUs! 😉#ngauge

#ngauge- big trains in a small world!

There’s always something new running around at club nights! #ngauge #ngaugerailway

A busy day down at the depot. #ngauge #ngaugerailway

Join us on the 19th August for our next evening of running and modelling.

Another great evening at @n-gauge-newport.bsky.social

One for @n-gauge-newport.bsky.social

Found ourselves near @kernowmodelrail.bsky.social this morning and it would be rude not to pop in and support them. 😉 A fantastic shop with a very good range across all scales.

Just passing through… #ngauge #ngaugerailway

Only in the non-Welsh speaking parts. 😛

At our running nights there’s always plenty going on around the track. Last session saw our member @closetotheedge.bsky.social weathering his rake of Blaenavon wagons.

Second image shows the before and after.

Join us for our next meeting tomorrow!

Tonight we pay homage to our member David Farms who sadly passed away last month. The running session featured David’s Class 37 cement train making its way through the countryside. #ngauge #ngaugerailway

Nice day down at the depot #ngauge #ngaugerailway.

Here’s half a tree created by one of our members that’s sitting very close to the back scene. As it would not be able to accommodate the back branches the tree was built without them. Additional branches were added to the sides and front to mask the missing ones.

Will it stay that white though…

Tariffs could mean the end of the line for the model railroad industry The model railroad industry relies on Asia-sourced parts and pieces for success and tariffs could spell disaster for this niche hobby.

We’ve saved the most fascinating until last! - Holmsley by our chairman Michael Shillabeer. There’s currently minimal landscaping and scenery on the top, but that’s because a phenomenal amount of work has been undertaken beneath the track bed.

We can’t wait to see this in operation when complete!
