Come and join a friendly society!

We try and run the society a bit different to most clubs, the emphasis being more on "playing" trains and further developing the hobby. The executive manages the society on behalf of the members and we have a members meeting at 10am on the 1st Sunday of the month, which is also the public running day. These meetings are quite frequently followed by a lunchtime BBQ.

The society is affiliated with the AALS (Australian Association of Live Steamers) and operate under the safety guidelines adopted by the AALS.

You do not have to be building a loco or anything else for that matter to be a member - just a keen interest in model engineering or railways.

If you are building a live steam model - the society has its own AMBSC qualified Boiler Inspector. Any steam powered model at the track must have an approved AMBSC Boiler Certificate. We also have several experienced model engineers who can assist you to overcome difficulties on model building.

If your interest isn't in something quite so large as 5 or 7-1/4 inch gauges, we are also custodians of an HO/OO model railway which ultimately will be set up in a club shed. There are members with interests in garden railways and even traction engines.

As you can see we have a very diverse range of interests in our society, so come along and see what we are all about!
