Welcome to Missenden Abbey!

Come along and bring your project....
Building a finescale locomotive or item of rolling stock in 7mm scale is generally a long-term project and it helps to get off on the right foot. Whether it’s rolling boilers, getting footplates straight and level or building smooth-running chassis, let;s get together to make sure you stay out of trouble. Modellers come back to the group again and again to enjoy the company, and see their own creations gradually take shape.

It is about 30 miles from central London to the North-West - an hour by car, 40 minutes by rail from Marylebone Station (there is a station at Great Missenden) and a similar time by Underground to Amersham then taxi. Heathrow is 30 minutes away and Luton and hour. Access by car is good from the M25, M40 and M4, the latter via High Wycombe.
