20/08/24 Thank You Roger
Roger Lean, who is very well known to many people in the model railway community, has, at the age of 81, decided to retire from his role as Exhibition Manager at the club.
Roger has been a fantastic servant to the club over many, many years and has represented us throughout the South and South West and even as far afield as Scotland.
The committee and members would like to express their sincere thanks for all the hard work over the years and for forging links with so many modelers far and wide.
We're pleased to say that Roger will remain a committee member and we look forward to seeing him regularly on club nights.
So....thanks so much Rog and keep on "playing trains".

09/03/23 Progress on our Giant Test Loop
We are making steady progress with our long awaited test loop/play trains loop largely thanks to new member Brian who has been working hard on this project over the last three weeks.
Our plan is for the layout which is approximately 25ft by 10 ft in size to have four running loops.
There will be two each in both N and 00 scales with one of each being wired for DC and DCC working.
We will leave provision for a possible O gauge loop to be added in the future.
The idea is that members and guests can bring along their locomotives/stock for a good old run around on what will be a large circuit allowing long trains.
The baseboards, see photo below, are nearing completion so we hope to start track laying in the near future.

01/11/22 Modular Layout makes its exhibition debut
One of the ongoing projects at the club is the development of a series of individual 00 scale modules (each one built by a different club member) that link together to produce a single end to end layout.
The layout is making excellent progress. So much so that it made its debut at the recent Cornwall O Gauge Guild Exhibition at Carn Brea Leisure Centre.
The picture below is of one of the modules plus you can click here to view a short video of the modular project under construction.

01/04/22 Exclusive Wagons in 00 and N
We are in the process of arranging, in conjunction with a company called The Wagon Yard (www.thewagonyard.co.uk ), a specially commissioned set of exclusively liveried wagons in 00 and N scales.
The first wagon, a 21Ton Mineral Open Wagon, will bear the name of Hayle's renowned engineering company Harvey's of Hayle.
The second wagon, a gunpowder box van, will bear the club's own name of Hayle Railway Modellers (HRM).
These wagons will only be available via Hayle Railway Modellers with full details regarding purchase price and availability to be announced just as soon as we have it.
We'll post pictures once we have received the first decorated samples in the next few weeks.
Keep an eye on this website or our Facebook Page (Social Media) for further news.
We hope to be able to announce similar wagons in O Gauge within the next six months.

04/02/22 Changes to Lyskerris (N Gauge)
In order to improve running several points have been removed from a corner of Lyskerris (one of our N gauge layouts). Effectively this leaves a disused area with tracks still in situ. The scenery in that area will be modified in the next week or so.
Before and after photos below :
01/02/22 An update on one of the most recent layouts to be started at the club
This is part of the layout currently being constructed by Club Treasurer Steve Miller.
As yet un-named, it will be a representation of a fictional Welsh coastal branch line scene in O Scale.
Measuring a whopping 29ft by 2ft it will be one of the largest layouts at the club.
It's certainly looking impressive so far so we look forward to seeing it develop over the coming months.
