SKIPTON & DISTRICT RAILWAY SOCIETY

The Society hosts a group affiliated to the EM Gauge Society and a Gauge O Group. The members of these groups are also members of the Society but they build and finance their own layouts. They may be allocated space in our clubrooms. The EM Group has a "finished" exhibition layout, Whiteadder Junction, and the Gauge O group has "son of Lofthouse" - or maybe "father of Lofthouse" - in the planning stages. This is Pateley Bridge with representations of the NER station, the Nidd Valley Light Railway station and the exchange sidings.
