About

Come Along to Ards Visitor Centre to see our Model Railway Exhibition presented on behalf of The North Down Model Railway Society and The Ulster Model Railway Club.

We have various models on display for you to look at as well as information on the skills needed to create them. Learn about the material's used and the various sizes of models you can make and perhaps be inspired to take up the hobby yourself.
