As a garden railway man (plus a little O scale on the side) I have found that the G Scale Society and the 16mm Association were a lot more relaxed than clubs with a fixed base. Although some "large" scale societies have their own layout, most garden rail clubs rely on visits to members homes and I think this is helpful - there is little chance of the boastful rivet-counter blustering his way out of that - it's a case of "show me", and armchair members are quickly smoked out! The Merioneth Railway Society was also wonderful in the days when they had meetings at Keen House...... ah! Happy days!

Another informal society that punches way above its weight is the Colonel Stephens Society - anyone interested in light railways really should join this organization - www.colonelstephenssociety.org.uk
