Chiltern Model Railway Association : The CMRA was founded in 1965 to facilitate the avoidance of clashes of exhibition dates, provide a means of communication between the clubs and encourage mutual support. Its aims are best summarised as “to encourage and promote the model railway hobby”. The ScaleSeven Group is a member of the CMRA.

The Model Railway Club : Established in 1910, the MRC is seen by many as the model railway club.

Gauge 0 Guild : The Gauge 0 Guild was formed in 1956 to provide support for modellers who work in the scale of 7mm to 1ft.

The Association of Larger Scale Railway Modellers : The ALSRM is open to anyone interested in model railways in the larger scales S, O, 1, G and upwards.

Broad Gauge Society : The Broad Gauge Society, founded in 1980 to promote research into, and the modelling of, the 7ft 0-1/4in Broad Gauge Railways of Great Britain.

Western Thunder : An active forum with strong support from many Scale7 modellers

7mm Discussion Group : An active discussion group for 7mm modellers of all flavours.

S Scale Society : For those who find 4mm too small and 7mm too big, S Scale (1:64) offers an alternative.

ScaleFour Society : The ScaleFour Society combines the S4 and Proto4 groups under one banner.

EM Gauge Society : EM was the first serious attempt at finescale 4mm scale modelling and still has a large following.
