Members Days
& Inter-clubs
Our club has a members day once a month where the drivers bring out there engines for a fun time just to blow off some steam.
We get to steam test, make adjustments and or repairs for maintanance of the engines, rolling stock, track swithches, signaling and more.
Once the hard stuff is done we then just have fun playing trains for a while .
This is a great time for kids, grand kids to come out to learn about firing and driving the engines and the safety rules for driving at Railway Park.
We also invite other Miniature railway clubs to come and run their engines on our track. This is a really good time to socialy interact with members from other groups catching up on the latest news over a BBQ lunch. We also get to fire and drive each others engines which is really interesting.
A lot of great friendships have been formed all over Australia through these interactive and informative meetings.
Show of work:
Every few months we host a show of work after a lite supper at a meeting.
This is where members can bring in and take pride in displaying what they have been working on at home in between public running days interclub events and park and railway maintanance.
From locomotives, carriages and general rolling stock, its quite facinating to see all the intracies involved and the skills that members have to build these miniature master pieces.
