Welcome
Welcome to the website of the European Railways Association
- a society open to everyone interested in the railways of Europe.
Founded in Autumn 2013, this new association is for everyone interested in European railways, whether in full size or model. The ERA is solely web based although you may encounter our promotional stands at UK railway and model railway events. We welcome all prototype enthusiasts and modellers across the Continent irrespective of country, scale, gauge and make. Although occasional technical terms will appear in their native languages, our website is fully English language based.
The objectives of the Association are as follows:
  • To promote the active study and modelling of European railways.
  • To do this through the establishment of local groups and the development of an internet website.
  • To organise lectures, slide shows and other gatherings to promote the Association's interests on the widest possible basis.
  • To promote and hold an annual exhibition.
  • To have fun together and enjoy our hobby.
Members are entitled:
  • To receive our internet newsletters
  • To attend any local or national ERA meetings
  • To vote in general Meetings
Getting Started in Model Railways
