Who we are
We are a modelling club focused on model engineering, model boats, small scale railway layouts and our large scale live steam railway. The live steam railway features both raised and ground level tracks, and we have several layouts along with many other items on display in our clubrooms. For many years model boats sailed on the Tahunanui pond, unfortunately the pond has been unusable to us for some time, however we will hopefully be able to construct our own dedicated boat pond in the future.
New members are always welcome.
For more information please see the other pages of this website, or click through to our Facebook page.
You can also see videos from around the club on our YouTube account.
