About US

The South Devon Garden Railway Group was formed with the aim of building and operating a permanent outdoor layout within the grounds of the Buckfastleigh station on the South Devon Railway.

This has now been achieved, and regular meetings are held at our layout 'Dartbridge' for the benefit of both ourselves, and also members of the general public who are visiting the site.

Both narrow gauge and standard gauge scales are run, and both 32mm and 45mm gauge lines are available. Steam, clockwork, and battery electric powered locomotives are welcome.

We have been running meetings on the third Sunday of every month, plus the Sunday of any publicised special event taking place on the 'big railway' (please see our blog site for details).

We have raised about £9,000 from our previous shows for our chosen charity, the Devon Air Ambulance Trust, with over £1,000 donated from the proceeds of the 2008 show.

After our donation to the Devon Air Ambulance Trust, any remaining proceeds go to help finance the next phase of the group's layout at Buckfastleigh.
