ORMESBY HALL MODEL RAILWAY GROUP

Welcome to the official Ormesby Hall Model Railway Group site. We are a group of volunteers who operate and maintain several model railway layouts, based at the National Trust property, Ormesby Hall near Middlesbrough. The exhibition has been running for 13 years and we now have 3 permanent layouts based at the hall and 2 portable layouts that we take to local events, one of which we have just begun and you will be able to see it develop through this site.

• Corfe Castle
  Corfe Castle was donated to The National Trust by the late Ron Rising. The layout is set deep in LSWR territory, with buildings scratch built from real examples in South West England. This wonderfully scenic layout represents 35 years modelling by just one man and is worth a visit in its own right.

• Pilmoor Junction
  Pilmoor Junction is set on the East Coast Mainline near Thirsk. This layout represents the ECML as it was in the late 1930's; and many famous trains and locomotives can be seen, such as; "The Coronation", "The Flying Scotsman", and A4 no 4468 "Mallard". The layout was built from scratch by the team.

• Thomas and Friends
  Thomas is a push button layout for the younger generation (or the young at heart). The layout was built by the volunteers as part of The National Trust, Year of The Child; and all the best known characters from the television series can be seen.
