Who We Are

      Our model railway club was formed in 1965.

      In the early years the members met at each others' homes until size demanded a more permanent location.

      We have had our own club rooms for many years, and are well known in the community.

      Our annual spring Train Show, held each year since 1974, continues to attract large crowds of ardent train fans as well as families seeking entertainment.

 

What We Do

      The club maintains "HO" and "N" scale layouts at the club rooms.

      We also have an extensive library of railway magazines and railway videos which are available to Club members.

      We have a number of portable layouts in various scales for use at the numerous shows that we attend each year.

      There are several fields of interest amongst the Club members including operations, layout and scenery construction, model making, railway history, applied electronics and virtual railroading.

      Club revenue is derived from two sources, membership dues, currently set at $75 per year, and income from our annual train show.

 

Mission
