The CRC meets at St.Paul’s Church Centre, Rossmore Road, Marylebone, London NW1 6NJ. This is an attractive hall which offers a comfortable environment for our meetings. It is a short walk north from Marylebone station on the west side of the line. Rossmore Road crosses over the railway at the station throat. Bus routes 139 from Waterloo to West Hampstead and 189 from Brent Cross to Oxford Circus pass the door. It is outside the congestion charge zone and parking is free after 18.30 on both single yellow lines and meters. Meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month from September through to July with an August break.
Meetings start at 18.30 with doors open from 18.00. With a short interval they usually finish by 21.00. Light refreshments are available and there is always a large selection of pre-owned foreign railway books for sale at attractive prices. There is a small admission charge and season tickets are also available offering further savings.
The next meetings are as follows:
Thursday 10th April 2025: John Sloane South East Asia a digital show covering Thailand, Malaysia and the Phillipines with a glimpse of North Sumatra. Emphasis on steam but with a few elderly diesels.

Thursday 10th July 2025: John Athersuch Latvia narrow gauge steam and diesel in digital format. followed by George Hart Trains in Trouble a compilation of short video clips of various mishaps that he witnessed during his railway travels. (Note these are mishaps not serious accidents!)
Offers to present a whole or even half-evening show are always welcome - please contact the Secretary Adrian Palmer at akpalmer@talktalk.net or 07774 859871 to discuss. Our programme for 2024/25 is complete but we are looking for speakers for the 2025/6 season starting in September 2025.
