Hello and welcome to the Fareham and District Model Railway Club web site.

The Club is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, based in the Fareham, Hampshire area and has members modelling in most gauges. We are fortunate to have premises that allow us to work on, and store layouts and to have test tracks in 3 gauges, O, OO, and N. 

A number of our layouts have been exhibited, and some were due to go out during the last year but have been prevented by show cancellations. We will be working on them to bring them back to exhibition standard.

Here you will find information on our activities, including Railex, our Model Railway Exhibition.

Enjoy

Best Wishes

Club Chairman
