The home of 45mm Garden Railways

25th Anniversary Year

The G Scale Society was founded in 1987 and now has over 1400 members in the UK and overseas. It caters for all modellers working in G Scale and has a liberal approach, believing that enjoyment is just as important as rivet-counting, but with no bias in either direction.

MEMBERS' ONLY AREA
Members should now be able to log in with a username based on their name as it appears on their Journal label, excluding title, i.e. no Mr, Mrs or Ms.  Usernames are all in lowercase with all spaces, full stops and apostrophes removed.
New members may have to wait up to 2 weeks before they will be able to log in.  Members up to 3675 should now be able to log in.

CALLING FACEBOOK USERS
The G Scale Society now has a Facebook group called G Scale Society on Facebook.  The aim of creating this group is to open up a 2-way communication channel with the membership of the Society.  It is a closed group so membership of it has to be approved and will only be available to G Scale Society members.  If you would like to join the group then click on the 'Like' button in the members area of this website.
