Welcome

To the website of the Felixstowe Area N Gauge Group.

The group is one of a number of local area groups formed around the country by members of the N Gauge Society.

The group is essentially a gathering of like minded modellers, with the aims of sharing ideas and information, and the opportunity to combine skills on larger projects.

These pages give some general information about the groups history, activities and events. The group produces a monthly newsletter which is now available via this website.
