Pendle Forest Model Railway Society
The Pendle Forest Model Railway Society is a UK-based nonprofit organisation (Charity number: 1002022) dedicated to promoting interest in model railways and railway preservation. Established to serve enthusiasts in the Burnley area and beyond, the society focuses on education, skill development, and community engagement through railway modelling.

Activities typically include exhibitions, workshops, and collaborative projects designed to share knowledge of model engineering, historical railway systems, and technical craftsmanship. The group fosters intergenerational participation, encouraging hobbyists of all ages to contribute to layouts, dioramas, and operational displays.

As a registered charity, the society aligns its operations with educational objectives, often partnering with local schools and community groups to deliver hands-on learning experiences. Its work emphasises historical preservation, particularly related to Lancashire’s railway heritage and industrial legacy.

The organisation’s website (pfmrs.org.uk) serves as a central hub for event announcements, membership details, and informational resources, though specific outreach initiatives are tailored to in-person engagement. Membership is open to individuals with shared interests, regardless of prior experience.
