We aim to cater for all aspects of small scale narrow gauge railway modelling, both for the beginner and the experienced modeller alike, for the scratch-builder. the kit builder and the modeller who prefers proprietary ready to run equipment. Whether you are an active modeller or an armchair modeller, you will find a welcome in the 009 SOCIETY.

The majority of our members work in 00 or H0 scales. By using a track gauge of 9mm they are able to model narrow gauge railways with prototype gauges between 1'10" and 2'6" (that is 570mm and 760mm). The use of one common track gauge has the advantage that members can operate their 009 and HOe rolling stock on other layouts. Some of our members who scratch-built chassis use exact scale gauges to represent particular railways and a few use Z gauge equipment to represent 18" gauge prototypes. An increasing number of our members are using 12mm gauge track and equipment to model prototype railways with gauges of 3'0" (00 scale) and 1 metre (HO), with a number using HOn3 (10.5mm gauge) for American 3' gauge lines.
