We are the Gold Coast Model Railway Club 

Our history

The Gold Coast Model Railway Club was formally incorporated in 2003 to nurture the hobby of model railways in the Gold Coast region. Coast 2 Coast Earthmoving donated the club room, which is about 250 square metres and provides layouts for the most popular scales of model railways.

Our club membership caters to all ages and modelling ability levels, and our members range from 8 to 80+.
We also enjoy sharing our hobby with the public, who are welcome to visit when the club rooms are open on our Open Days.

The club is open to members on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to about 4:00 p.m. Lunch is available from our canteen on Saturdays, and refreshments are available at other times.

The club has a commitment to the development of model railway expertise. If you want to develop your modelling skills in an ultra-friendly environment, 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 an extensive library of model railway and locomotive resources. Members may borrow books and DVD’s relevant to their hobby or 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 regular “Buy & Sell” activities.

If you want to run your trains, introduce your children to the hobby or aspire to become an accomplished and expert modeller, the Gold Coast Model Railway club has much to offer, so please download our membership form here
