The East Bedfordshire Model Railway Society (EBMRS) is simply a club where enthusiasts gather to chat and operate and build model railways.
The Society was formed in 1961 as a local club and was previously known as ‘The Biggleswade & District Model Railway Society’, but changed its name to EBMRS in 1980 to reflect the wider geographic membership and their evolving pursuit of prototypical accuracy.
We currently operate one exhibition layout (Cheriton Bishop) which regularly receives invitations to shows around the UK and sometimes abroad, and is available for exhibition on request. We also host our own exhibition each year, generally in mid-February, which is held in the main hall of Stratton Upper School, Biggleswade, and to which we typically invite 15 or so layouts.
Since 2023 we have been developing a new layout, Finchley, to replace Sutton-on-Sea which has been sold in 2025. Finchley will use some baseboards from a previous project which had to be dismantled following a change in premises.
The club meets most Tuesday evenings in The Roundabout Club, Sandy, between 19:30 and 22:00. For directions click Here.
