History
Merseyside Model Railway Society was founded in 1949 and for eight years was
based in Liverpool. We then moved to Chester Street, Birkenhead, where we
had accommodation ‘above the shops’. Thirty-nine years later, in 1996, the
building - known as the Antiques Triangle - was designated for renewal. With
the help of Wirral Borough Council, we then moved to our present
accommodation at the Cavendish Enterprise Centre in Brassey Street.
The Society is proud of its community involvement: regular exhibitions on
the Wirral and open days offer public insights into the hobby and a
commission to create a model of Birkenhead Woodside has given us a permanent
showcase in the Wirral Museum in Hamilton Square.
