Anyone Interested in Establishing a Model Railroad Club Dec 01, 2010
I am looking for like-minded individuals who want to form a formal, or informal, model railroad association here in the Emirates. Anyone interested can reach me off-list. I am an avid Canadian National and Canadian Pacific HO modeler here in the UAE.

Cheers
Derrick Green

Spam sandwiches for the anoraks Chocs! Cucumber sandwiches are reserved for the Queen's garden parties.

Sorry guys but that would be the British Railfanning Society, for which there is now some distant hope of actually seeing a train in the UAE.

We are grown ups that still like to play with our toy trains. Keeps us young. Besides, I have eaten cucumber sandwiches with HM the Queen.

Anyway, what we are trying to gather up are enough guys intereted in HO, N, G, S whatever scale model railways to form a club. We might even throw together a club layout for the Anorak Brigade to come take pictures of!

Cheers

Is this a club or lounge inside or close to railway stations that people can rest and dine in, meet business clients, etc? I think that is a great idea. I'd love to see those.

Hi Derrick,

I have few train sets in N scale of German Railroad of the 40's, Fleischman, Trix, etc.

It would be good to form a club of model railroad enthusiasts.

Let me know,

Ciao, Sergio

Hi All,
Still are chances for the Railway Club?

Hi Ikram
Here in UAE there are no shops for model train. You might find outside in special Europe. Order online and they send it here via Post, works perfectly.

Access or google:

piko train model

Roco train model [/b]
