Welcome to the Gold Coast Model Railway Club!
Our history dates back to the late 70s, when a group of enthusiasts first started meeting at each other's houses and running trains on whatever the layout was at that house. Numbers and enthusiasm gradually grew over the following years, culminating in mid 2003 when the club became an incorporated society, and found a permanent home in Arundel where we've been ever since. HO/OO, N, On30 and G gauge layouts were built and have been maintained since then by various members. We cater to both modellers and train enthusiasts.
There are some pics and vids on this site, which gets occasionally updated - but for more recent ones, please go to Facebook, Youtube or Instagram.
Visitors are welcome to call in and have a look around on either Wednesdays or Saturdays, from 10am till about 2pm. You'll find us to the west of the Bunnings Arundel car park, just to the west (i.e. to the left when viewed from Kendor St) of The Bait Shop. Please note the clubrooms are up one flight of stairs, and there is no lift or other form of wheelchair access unfortunately.
Our next open day is going to be on Saturday, October 10th 2026 (yeah we know, it's been a while....). Please see Facebook for more....
New members are very welcome, subject to acceptance. To become a member, please click here to download our membership form.
We use the Digitrax DCC System to control our trains on our HO/OO, N and On30 layouts. DC models can also be run on our HO/OO, N and G layouts.
If you've got some trains you'd like to sell (e.g. from a deceased estate), or are new to model railways and get some insights on what to do, please see our Information page for some useful tips and links.
This club does not as a general rule buy trains or collections, however we can gratefully accept donations of old locos, wagons, carriages, track, controllers, buildings etc if you don't have a use for them and want them to go to a good home.
