This is a milestone in the club's history and is something towards achieving our ultimate goal of a full model railway club facility. We now wait anxiously for the construction of the building.

Our primary goal at this stage is to present a display to the public at the 2009 Toowoomba Heritage Royal Show commencing on the 26th of March. This will require some dedication on the part of members. Fortunately we have the resources at hand and we have no doubt we will achieve this goal.

Along with this exciting news, is the fact that the showgrounds complex has at the same time undergone major roadworks, which has sealed the road in front of our new building. Other work in conjunction with this included electrical conduit being laid in advance of the road, major earthworks for the site courtesy of Sedl Earthworks, along with input from numerous contractors and businesses.

It is envisaged that the intial display will comprise operating layouts in HO, N and Z scales along with a small display of model rail museum pieces and items. We will keep you updated on the progress as it happens and an announcement of an offical opening date will be advised closer to the opening.
