On-Line Shop

We understand that there have been problems accessing our on-line shop. We apologise for this which was due to a change in 'engine' (no pun intended!). We have taken the opportunity to re-organise the shop so as to make access easier. We have separated HO from N gauge (with O) and from Controllers and Service. We hope you will find this an improvement and that you will find our on-line shop a more friendly and helpful experience. Should you have problems please let us know so that we can sort them out.

The gremlins have been sorted and we are grateful to Sitesplus for their assistance.

It will be some time before they are able to resume normal club activities BUT their exhibitions are UNAFFECTED. The planned exhibitions will go ahead.

Duchy Railroaders - A new group for Cornwall's American Railroad Modellers

Following the inaugural meeting of American Railroad modellers on 30th January a group has been formed called Duchy Railroaders. The group's founder members total 14 and are principally N gauge and HO scale modellers with some narrow gauge (On30 and HOn3) and large scale interest. Some are members of the NMRA but not all.
It is intended to build group layouts in both N and HO scales for exhibition and group running rights. One of the principal aims of the group is to help newcomers to American Model Railroading with information,  advice and (where required) assistance.

Anyone interested in the group's activities or in joining please make contact via this site, (letter, phone or e-mail).
A 'blog site' has already been set up and can be found at
