We operate three layouts and are developing a new O gauge shunting layout.
The model railway layout is capturing the charm of a 1930s and 1940s town that grew from a 12th-century monastery. This development introduced a key station and boosted the town's trade and tourism. The scene is lovingly crafted with detailed, hand-built models of trains and stations that evoke the era's spirit.
In the 1930s and 1940s, coal was transported by river to a quay, hoping to boost local development with a railway serving large warehouses and a brewery. Although the town didn't fully develop as expected, the railway still supports the local brewery and farming supplies by transporting goods and produce.
A small portion of an urban goods yard surrounded by various buildings all of which send and receive goods. All of the buildings and scenic sections are scratch built. This layout is currently under construction.
The club will be exhibiting the Penfold Priory layout at the Swansea Model Railway Show in September 2026.
The club will be exhibiting the Bishops Quay Layout at the Newgog Model Railway show. Opening Times are yet to be confirmed.
