East Beds Model Railway Soc.

The East Bedfordshire Model Railway Society (EBMRS) is simply a club where enthusiasts gather to chat and operate and build model railways.

The society was formed in 1961 as a local club and was previously known as 'The Biggleswade & District Model Railway Society', but changed its name to EBMRS in 1980 to reflect the wider geographic membership and their evolving pursuit of prototypical accuracy.

We currently operate 2 exhibition layouts, Sutton and Cheriton Bishop, which regularly receive invitations to shows around the UK and sometimes abroad, and both are available for exhibition on request. We also host our own exhbition each year, generally in early February, which is held in the main hall of Stratton Upper School, Biggleswade and to which we typically invite 15-20 layouts.

We are now developing a new layout, Finchley Road, which has been extensively researched and is now under construction and which occupies a great deal of our club night meetings.
