Welcome to The Leamington & Warwick Model Railway Society
(LWMRS)​​​​
Please note the club will not be open to visitors on Christmas and New Years day.
Members meet every Thursday evening and we are now able to welcome visitors from 7:30pm.
The extended clubrooms are fully accessible with a lift available to the new first floor.​​​​
​​​​We are now able to invite membership applications from individuals interested in joining the club.
New layouts are under development by newly formed groups working in OO9, NG7 narrow gauge, TT120, and the Outdoor group have indoor space allocated to build a 45mm based mobile exhibition layout.
The current P4 group are currently designing a new layout and construction will begin shortly.

​Following from the success of our Railway 200 celebration project with the Children of St Lawrence CofE Primary School, Napton on the Hill, their work will be returning to the school and displayed for the last time at the school
Christmas Fund Day on the Saturday 6th December 2025.
Teachers who have seen the project displayed at various exhibitions this year are welcome to contact the club via email to discuss the lesson plans and teaching materials that were prepared. We expect to be able to share these materials to help introduce children to the skills needed to model the modern railway. ​​
The club are please to have been invited to team up with the Japanese manufacturer,
Kato Precision Railroad Products,
​
to stage a crafting workshop at the National Festival of Railway Modelling at the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham.
Our members were on hand to provide help and guidance with modelling techniques enabling visitors to experience making Kato Mini Diorama Circus boards.​​​​

Charity Wagon Project
Our latest charity wagon project has been delivered and is now available for you to collect. We have moved away from 'The Myton Hospices' theme by selecting a local brewery for the wagon graphics. We have examples of the 'OO' gauge wagons available to order by emailing
Sorry - all 'N' gauge wagons have now been sold and just 7 OO examples left after day one of the
National Festival of Railway Modelling at the NEC. Last chance to buy before Xmas.
All profits raised from the sale of the wagons support our local hospice group and on 4th December 2024 one of our members visited the Myton Hospice in Warwick to hand over a cheque for £1500.
A big thank you to all those members of the railway modelling community who have supported the project by buying a wagon at events or exhibitions around the country this year.
If you would like to order your example of these limited edition wagons please email

The Society has over 100 members mainly from South Warwickshire and the surrounding areas. We occupy spacious club rooms, now over two floors just outside Leamington Spa, each in excess of 6,500 sq ft for layouts, a discussion area, library toilets and kitchen.
​
We meet regularly every Thursday evening so come down to the club rooms and have a look around. You will be sure of a good welcome and there is plenty of interest for all modelling skills, or for those who just like to chat, or browse in the extensive club library.
​
Indoors, we have a number of layouts in various stages of construction - in G1, O, NG7, P4, OO, TT120, OO9 and N gauge - and the club layouts regularly appear on the exhibition circuit and in the modelling press.​
​
Outdoors, we have a 90 meter, 45mm gauge track with three complete loops suitable for battery powered and live steam models. For information about open running sessions please join our Facebook group Outdoors@lwmrs,

"The Society's objectives are to advance public education and foster a general interest in railways and model railways, and in particular to encourage a high standard of modelling amongst its members”
