Meetings & Events
Dartford Model Railway Group meet on Thursday evenings, from 7:30 - 10:30, in South Darenth village, near Dartford, in Kent. We are about four miles from Dartford station/town centre off the A225 Dartford-Farningham road and around half a mile from Farningham Road station.
Good News
As of May 2026 the group that rented the hall on the second Thursday of the month has ceased and we will now meet every Thursday.
Meetings are used for the planning and construction of group layouts and a test track is set up so that members can run their OO or N gauge locos and stock. Running nights are held for the various layouts by arrangement.
Occasionally additional running days are held to allow more time for members to run their stock, develop running sequences for our exhibition layouts etc.
Group layouts are built with the aim of reaching a standard where they can be exhibited, and we attend shows as and when invited.
The Exhibition Calendar option on the menu shows current invitations.
We have occasional Open Days to promote and raise awareness of the group.
There are demonstrations of various practical skills by members to enable others to benefit from their experience and expertise, and 'Railway Doctor' sessions when problems with stock or equipment can be diagnosed, and hopefully solved.
We also have occasional guest speakers on topics of railway interest.
