Welcome to the Brighton Model Railway Club home page. I hope you enjoy the variety of layouts and features we have on this site. I try and keep the website accurate, clear, simple, quick to load and easy to use. If you find any missing or broken links etc please let us know via the email link at the bottom of this page.
Due to Fotopic calling the receivers in the website is lacking in photos at the moment as most were hosted there. Over the next few months I will reload images into this website. Please bare with me as I have 3 websites to reload photos for.
The webmasters collection of over 4000 images was also a victim of Fotopic, at least they were all backed up and are being transferred to Here . It will take time to get everything back especially the captions.

Our home London Road station in Brighton, which has recently had a major renovation.
Brighton MRC was founded in 1971 and celebrated its 40th birthday on the 7th of October 2011. We currently have around 20 members and always welcome more.
Meetings are every Tuesday (except Bank Holidays and the Tuesday between Christmas and New Year) from 1930 to approx 2200 at London Road Railway Station, Shaftesbury Place (off Ditchling Rise) in Brighton, East Sussex, UK. The clubrooms are in what was originally the Ladies waiting room. We have club layouts in 00 gauge and O-16.5 as well as a test track which has N, OO coarse and finescale, EM and O gauges. Our members have a wide variety of interests ranging from London Brighton and South Coast Railway in O gauge through London & South Western Railway in OO through to the Denver and Rio Grande in N scale and everything in between!
Anyone aged 18 or over is eligible to join, details on the membership page.
As well as building and operating our layouts, we run other events such as film and slide shows, quiz nights, an annual competition for members' models and an exhibition in November each year.
