Test Tracks
Known to many club members as ‘The Roundy Round’, this 8 feet wide (2.4 metres) test track currently consists of 5 circles of track; two circuits of N Gauge, and four circuits of OO/HO Gauge.
A new test track is currently under construction along one wall of the club room for use by those who model in larger scales. This layout will consist of two end to end lines; one using O Gauge track, and one using G Scale track, both with passing loops to allow more than one train on each line at once.
The image gallery below showcases some of the models that our members have brought along to our running nights over the years, demonstrating the wide variety of interests in scales, gauges, eras and regions that Nailsea and District Model Railway Club members have.
