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 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 principal sources, membership dues,
currently set at $90 per year, and income from our annual train
show.
As a service to anyone who would like to make a start in the model railway hobby, we offer a set
of ten basic model railroading leaflets.
