Phoenix Model Railway Club started when eight people left another local club in July 1999. We met in a member’s living room every Saturday for a number of months, all paying subscriptions until enough funds were built up.

We heard of premises that would be suitable for us on what was then RAF Quedgeley and managed to obtain a lease, and moved in  March 2000. Since then our membership numbers have grown. We have held a number of successful open days, and we are jointly involved with the Cotswold Model Railway Show on a yearly basis with the Eastcombe Scouts and Guides and Gloucester Model Railway Club.

Membership includes a number of ladies, disabled and different racial background members. There are both “full” members and “social” members. Full members own layouts at the club, where as social members come to run their own rolling stock, help on the layouts or just to join in the social activities. Click on Membership for prices.

We also have a thriving membership, with members aged from 7 upwards. Social activities include barbeques in the summer, visits to exhibitions, heritage railways and so on.

We now have a number of exhibition standard layouts and are showing at more and more exhibitions. The premises we operated from for 9 years were 2700 square feet and included kitchen area, workshop, layout storage and toilets, We now are homeless and need premises to continue our hobby,
