Who are we. |
Why do you not set your layouts in one time period |
|
The Boston MRS is a small group of Railway Modellers who live in the area around Boston in Lincolnshire. The members all have different interests so unlike other MRS's who build layouts which have all their stock and buildings set in one time period the Boston MRS runs any stock from any period. In addition to this we're all a friendly bunch and feel that being small helps us harbour a community feeling. One new member commented that our club is a friendlier environment then other local clubs that he tried.

We work on the keep something running philosophy. We do this because when the public visit exhibitions they want to see something running. If there isn't anything happening on a layout they will leave. As long as the loco and the train it’s pulling are from the same period it doesn't matter that there is a EWS class 66 on a coal train running alongside an ex LNER A4 pacific on an express.

SubscriptionsThe clubs subscription rate is £20 per year. There is also a weekly donation payment of £3 each night you attend after you've joined.
