Victory Model Railway Club
Portsmouth, Hampshire
Victory Model Railway Club is a club that caters for model railway enthusiasts of all ages, interests and levels of experience.
The club was formed on 9th February 1982 by the now defunct local radio station, Radio Victory, and the Fratton Bargain Shop. The club was formally known as the "Radio Victory" model railway club. The name was changed to simply "Victory" Model Railway Club, when the I.B.A refused to renew Radio Victory's franchise.
From February 1982, the club met at the Fratton Bargain Shop. In 1989, due to the expansion of the business, club had to find new accommodation. The club then moved to Aldershot where it met regularly for around a year. 10 years ago the club was fortunate enough to find new accommodation back in Portsmouth. We now meet in a new clubroom in Milton, Portsmouth.
At present the club is quite small with membership made up of a loyal band of friends. The club now considers that it is time to expand the club's membership and would like to have the opportunity to introduce a new generation to this exciting and interesting hobby.
