Welcome to the web page of the Kent group of

the Association of 16mm Narrow Gauge Modellers.

We are a local group associated with an international association which promotes the modelling of Narrow Gauge railways using scales of between 14 and 16mm to the foot (1:21 to 1:19 scales). About two thirds of members in Kent run on 32mm gauge track, and the rest run on 45mm track.

Some members build their own locomotives, both battery and live steam, whilst others choose to buy kits or completed locomotives from a growing list of suppliers in the UK. Other rolling stock, coaches, wagons, buildings and even track are constructed by the modeller or purchased as kits. A growing amount of equipment is available ready to run.

Members run a mix of battery powered and live steam locomotives on their own tracks and in the months from May to September a programme of garden meetings is organised.
Details can be found on the Meetings page.

The group is fortunate in having a portable layout ‘HOPFIELDS’ which is taken to Shows and is used at our monthly indoor meetings held in a hall in Gravesend from October to April.
