The 009 Society
The World's largest society for small scale narrow gauge railway modelling

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.

There are a large variety of benefits from being a member of the 009 SOCIETY which include:

our monthly journal, 009 News, with a wide variety of articles about modelling and prototypes, reviews of new items, Society happenings, etc.
affiliated local groups which members can join to meet with like-minded people in their own area. 

access to the online shop containing second hand modelling items (pre-owned models, chassis, kits) as well as the Society’s own range of kits, etc.
discounts on a range of new modelling items purchased from suppliers such as Dundas Models and Custom Model Decals
access to the archive of 20 years backnumbers of 009 News with much helpful information and inspiration
 
The majority of our members work in 00 (1:76) or H0 (1:87) 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
