Welcome to the Elham Valley Model Railway Club (EVMRC)Website.

Updated schedule of exhibitions for 2024 for Elham Valley Model Railway Club ( EVMRC ) on the News Page 

With the Elham layout reaching its intended maximum size we are starting to think about a new project.

See the News Page 

At last, Elham Valley Model Railway is heading for Barham. Note the brickworks with the slurry pipe bringing clay in suspension from the pits at Exted.

The Elham Valley Model Railway Club is based on the Downs in Kent between Canterbury and Folkestone.

What is the EVMRC? Well it’s a club formed by a small group of people who are interested in railways and model railways in the Elham Valley and elsewhere. The club aims are to:

1. Promote the club within the local community
2. Encourage an interest in prototype railway matters
3. To manage & construct a model railway layout(s)

That sounds serious; but the intention of the club is to enjoy a shared interest in all things railway with a bias towards making models of ‘railways’ in miniature.

The club's members come from the villages in the valley and surrounding area.

What do we do? To please ourselves we make small layouts and visit preserved railways but also we try to give anyone the opportunity to come along to our Public Running Days to run their own models on our model railways. 

Starting shortly after we formed as a group, we have had occasional talks, outings and workshops to develop members’ skills. In 2016 we held our most recent model railway exhibition centred on members work and stock. We regularly exhibit our models at local model railway shows.

The spirit of the model railway club is deliberately relaxed we knew that others have far greater modelling skills and knowledge than we have; but that doesn’t matter, as to us, it is the atmosphere of railways that excites us.

Interested? Have a look at our website to see what we do and if you are interested come along to one of our open events in the Elham Valley. Or come and talk to us about model railways or railways at one of our meetings. To see what's on, visit our activities page. 

If you like what you see and would like to join us go to our membership application page.
