About The Circle

 

The Welsh Railways Research Circle aims to bring together those with a serious interest in the railways of Wales and the border counties. Research and modelling are fundamental aspects of the Circle. 

​

A key feature of the Circle is its own research centre near Newport, South Wales. The facility can be utilised by members for research purposes with volunteers available to assist with searches or advise on ways to proceed a research project.
