I am looking for like-minded individuals who want to form a formal, or informal, model railroad association here in the Emirates. Anyone interested can reach me off-list. I am an avid Canadian National and Canadian Pacific HO modeler here in the UAE.

Cheers

Are u talking about 3d modelling ? like on 3ds max ?

Are you all going to stand around in anoraks eating cucumber sandwiches with flasks of tea?

Spam sandwiches for the anoraks Chocs! Cucumber sandwiches are reserved for the Queen's garden parties.

Sorry guys but that would be the British Railfanning Society, for which there is now some distant hope of actually seeing a train in the UAE.

We are grown ups that still like to play with our toy trains. Keeps us young. Besides, I have eaten cucumber sandwiches with HM the Queen.

Anyway, what we are trying to gather up are enough guys intereted in HO, N, G, S whatever scale model railways to form a club. We might even throw together a club layout for the Anorak Brigade to come take pictures of!

Cheers

Is this a club or lounge inside or close to railway stations that people can rest and dine in, meet business clients, etc? I think that is a great idea. I'd love to see those.

Hey Derrick,
I've been running N scale for about 20years. if your still here, I'm moving to Abu Dhabi in December. Bringing a couple runners with me. let me know.

Cheers,

Hi Derrick,

I have few train sets in N scale of German Railroad of the 40's, Fleischman, Trix, etc.

It would be good to form a club of model railroad enthusiasts.

Let me know,

Hi Ikram
Here in UAE there are no shops for model train. You might find outside in special Europe. Order online and they send it here via Post, works perfectly.

Access or google:
