Our Story
The Club has a proud history dating back to the early 1970s, when a group of British Rail employees, who were also keen model railway enthusiasts, came together to form what would become Shoeburyness Model Railway Club.
The Club was initially offered space at Shoeburyness Station and, as interest grew, later opened its doors to the wider public. Over the years, membership has naturally fluctuated, but it has remained steady at around 30 members.
In the early 2000s, the Club purchased its own site and built a clubhouse, which has proved to be a valuable and much-appreciated asset.
Today, the Club is proud to welcome members from all walks of life, brought together by a shared passion for model railways, good company and the occasional cup of tea.
