SIMON TOWNSEND'S MINIATURE RAILWAY LINKS PAGE

Links tested and updated: 29/04/2009


I aspire to attempting a reasonably complete list of miniature railway web sites in the UK. If you find a few links that are out of date I apologise for this, but I can't rival other sites which update continually. Alas, generally updates to this page are carried out only annually, each November. Nevertheless please Email me if you find a changed URL or one that I've missed and I will add it when I next update. 
Covering the trade and overseas sites I've just put in a few sites that I've enjoyed seeing.
Note that below I am using my own miniature railway definition and classifications.
