Purpose Our Mission
Our mission is to display and operate a large, permanent model railway and exhibition in Markeaton park, Derby.

Our Vision
We have achieved the first part of our vision, namely to exhibit a 00 scale model railway to the public in a refurbished large building in Markeaton Park. The building is located opposite the South Car Park and next to the main path that links the A38/A52 Ashbourne Road with the Craft Village and the Mundy Play Centre.

Later phases of our project are being developed and could include a garden railway adjacent to the model railway building and also, if possible, a miniature steam railway track.
