The Calder Northern Group is part of the Calder Northern Division of the National Model Railroad Association British Region. The group currently meets at All Saints Hall, Weston, Crewe. Regular meetings are held once a month throughout the year. Guests are always welcome.Calder Northern Division is one of a number of Divisions within the NMRA British Region, having a geographical membership area including the counties of Cumbria, Lancashire and Cheshire and I.o.M. Meetings are also attended by NMRA members who live in different administrative areas but come to us for their enjoyment, as we are located closer to their home.

When the Division was formed it started ﬁrst with meetings at members’ homes and gradually expanded to meetings at local church halls. Members brought along their modules and these were erected at the venue to allow members to run their trains. At the end of the day each took away his module until the next session.

In due course a permanent home was found at the Crewe Heritage Centre, where several permanent layouts were featured. The group has subsequently left the Crewe Heritage Centre and meets in Weston.

Members have a wide range of modelling interests, in many scales (from G to N) and in many areas(North America, UK and Europe).
