The SE&CR Society caters for many interests, the main categories being research, modelling (often inter-related), and artefacts, either as existing infrastructure or individual items. Modelling, however, is probably the great initiator.
When someone decides to model a particular railway and location, the next questions are likely to be, “How much scratch building and “scratch aid” kit building modelling will I be involved in?” ; “Are there any short cuts such as RTR items available?”; “What kits are available? And is there any RTR to give me a start?” This section of the website provides lists and suggestions to help the would be modeller. The most common scales are shown – N Gauge (2mm), 3mm, 4mm, 7mm, 10mm and there’s even a 5” Gauge live steam reference.
Of course, by joining the SE&CR Society, the new member gains access to drawings, photographs and, perhaps most importantly, other members who already have many years of modelling experience of the SE&CR and its constituents.
