Our History Documented
One of our members, Frank Gordon, has produced a book charting the history of the Manchester Model Railway Society from its inception in 1925 through to its 90th anniversary celebrations in 2015.
A fascinating and detailed history of the Society and indeed model railways in general, this shows why the club and its members have been at the forefront of railway modelling so long.
