Kilmarnock and District Model Railway Club

Kilmarnock & District MRC is the oldest surviving Model Railway Club in Ayrshire. It was founded in 1971 and had a small exhibit at Model Rail '72 in Glasgow.
The original premises were in the Drill Hall, Titchfield Street in Kilmarnock. After the decision was taken to redevelop the Drill Hall the club had to move to Riccarton Community Centre and then Kilmarnock Station. In the mid-1990’s a decision was taken to buy and refurbish a derelict bakery in Kilmarnock over a ten year period. This would leave the Club as owners of their Clubrooms - a good position to be in! That project has now been successfully completed.
Kilmarnock & District MRC runs its own Exhibition in late January each year, at the The Scottish Maritime Museum in Irvine, we also attend other shows throughout the year.
The Club has had success in exhibitions, winning two cups at Model Rail 1990 in Glasgow and the most entertaining layout in show at Spennymoor in 1996. In addition we have picked up commendations at other shows.
From the start Layouts were constructed in 'OO' Scale. we now have show ready 'O','OO','OO9'and'N'Scale layouts ready to show covering multiple time periods running both DC and DCC. We also have a historic DUBLO 3 Rail layout. We have projects in O, OO, TT120 and N Scale currently in various stages of construction. We’d love for you to come and help out and share new ideas with us.
The Club has an open membership policy, we take in younger members - indeed the Club now largely relies on previous younger members to keep things going. We are an inclusive club we have members from all walks of life in fact since the creation of our club our only Hon. Sec. for 50+ years was woman who is now retired from this thankless task. The atmosphere in the Club is fairly relaxed, and potential members need have no previous experience. Enquire and Join us today.
