About Us

We are the South Downs Area Group of the 7mm Narrow Gauge Association. A small, select band, based in West Sussex and and East Hampshire, who share an interest in modelling railways - mainly, but not exclusively, narrow gauge in or about 7mm to the foot scale.

We are a very informal group who meet roughly once a month at member's houses - in Pagham, East Wittering or Worthing. We also arrange visits to various railway attractions or even short breaks as a group to visit those further afield. Not all of us even have layouts of our own. We would like to think that we cover a good range of modelling skills and some of our members have exhibited their layouts at various venues.

If you share any of our interests we would love to hear from you. Use the "Contact Us" link if you would like to join us at one of our meetings. Even if you are only staying in the area you will get a warm welcome - or better still, become a permanent member of our merry band. We are pleased to welcome anyone with an interest in narrow gauge modelling in, or about, 7mm to the foot scale.

Our next meeting will be on 9th August at 1930 in Worthing. This will be largely a "chat" meeting unless the weather cools down enough to make the hosting member's loft hospitable enough to visit the Sump Valley Railway! Please use the "Contact" link for more information.

We have also started running our own local exhibition, and the last was on:-

Saturday 1st May, 2010 from 10:00 to 16:30 at

St Wilfrid's Church Hall in Bognor Regis
