2023 is the 50th anniversary of the founding of the 009 Society. In the 50 years of its existence so far, it has grown to be the World’s largest Society for small scale narrow gauge railway modelling, with more than 2000 members.
To celebrate, we are taking over the Statfold Barn narrow gauge railway and museum on 16th and 17th September for a weekend of the very best of narrow gauge. As well as the full size railway giving rides with two engines in steam, we expect to have on display more than 50 layouts covering our family of scales and gauges. There will be specialist trade stands, our own sales stand and representation from the large manufacturers.
Members are able to buy tickets for the weekend via our online shop, as well as for a celebration dinner on the Saturday night. Non-members will be able to buy tickets in due course for the Sunday (only) via the Statfold Barn website.
We hope this will be a very enjoyable weekend and a suitable celebration of our first 50 years.
