Events Diary 2008

Solihull Model Railway Circle reserves the right to make changes to our events programme and we cannot be held responsible.

All events are held on a Thursday evening (unless stated) starting from 8:00pm at the St Marys Scout Hut on Hob's Meadow off the Hob's Moat Road, Solihull B92 8PN

(See Map) and are open to the general public (unless stated).

Running Nights: Bring your Locos and Rolling Stock along, to run on our layouts.

Working Nights: On these nights we work on the layouts, carrying out repairs or upgrades and scenery work. There is no pressure on anyone doing any work (feel free just to come and talk to the other members), but If there is something you wish to learn/do, please just ask!
