Model Builders for Miniature Train Terrains

The Whangarei Steam and Model Railway Club is located in the Heritage Park grounds and operates diesel and a steam locomotive, jiggers and two 1924 restored trams for the public on running days. The Club is a mechanical version of the Men's Shed - anyone is welcome!

We are looking for volunteers to assist with model building and construction of model scenery and layouts for our train terrain. We run extensive model layouts and the team there is always welcoming to folks who wish to fabricate, build and paint in the two model rooms.

We invite those interested to contact the President who will arrange a tour of facilities and discuss possible involvement.

If you enjoy a cuppa and a natter as well as a bit of hard work at times... we can find plenty to occupy you!

Requirements

• interested in trains and miniature models
• reasonably skilled with model making

Time commitment

The Model Engineers open the miniature railway and the Tractor Club to the public every third Sunday of each month in conjunction with the train station.
