Gold Coast Model Railway Club
The Gold Coast Model Railway club was formally incorporated in 2003 to nurture the hobby of model railways in the Gold Coast region.
The club room, the use of which has been donated by Coast 2 Coast Earthmoving, is about 250 sq metres and provides layouts for the most popular scales of model railways.
Our club membership caters for all ages and levels of modelling ability, and our members range from 8 to 80+.
We also enjoy sharing our hobby with the public who are most welcome to visit when the club rooms are open to the public on open days, on the 1st Saturday of the month.
The club is open on Saturdays from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm and lunch is available from our canteen on Saturdays and refreshments at other times.
The club has a commitment to the development of model railway expertise. If you want to develop your modeling skills in an ultra friendly environment, then this is the place for you! Many of our members have highly developed modelling skills and experience and they are only too pleased to pass on their knowledge whether it is landscaping, baseboards, electrical, repairs & maintenance or scale model building to the rest of the membership and guests.
Our club has many model railway collectors, so there is a good chance you may see the locomotive model you had as a child running around one of the layouts.
The Gold Coast Model Railway Club also boasts a large library of model railway and locomotive resources. Members may borrow books and DVD’s relevant to their hobby or simply research their subject over a quiet cuppa at the club rooms.
Members also have the opportunity to buy, sell or swap model railway items at the club and at regular “Buy & Sell” activities.
The club members also actively participate in Model Railway Exhibitions in Queensland and Northern NSW.
