Welcome to the South Shore Group

Welcome to the South Shore Group, a group of railway modellers focusing on the colourful and diverse railway prototypes of North America (and occassionally distracted by German, Swiss, Australian and Soviet railways) who meet regularly in Worthing on England's South Coast. South Shore is a sub-division of the British Region of the (US-based) National Model Railroad Association (NMRA) and was formerly known as the West Sussex American Group.

The usual club night is Wednesday, starting at 7pm until about 11pm, and the usual venue is Sompting Village Hall, Sompting Near Worthing except on the second Wednesday of each month - but please check the calendar here to be certain. Visitors are welcome to drop by and say hello. There is usually ample on-site parking in the hall grounds.

Our next show will be on the 7th and 8th of July 2012 and we're holding it at the Sompting Village Hall. It will include the debuts of several brand new layouts.
We have a number of exciting projects coming on nicely - most of which we hope will make their debut at our show in July. More details will be available nearer the time but we hope they will include our new Club On30 layout Perfection, GA; Nick and Lee's new N-scale layout Le-Fordham Yard; Andrew's layout Numpty's Creek and Bevis' as yet unnamed HO Dutch Wharf layout.
