14.01.2022 The Hamilton Model Railway Group are preparing to open to the public next Sunday in a Covid safe manner. Today there was a little unveiling of a beautiful new m...ural of a J class on their clubroom wall. To help with the launch, Neil, a great supporter of the Warrnambool Model railway Exhibition each year, had his magnificent Na loco cutting a few laps of the very nice Hamilton track. A visit to the club, their display in the club rooms and a ride of their miniature railway is well recommended. Good luck with your re-opening from all at WMRC. See more

12.01.2022 A major milestone for Richard's 280 walker rail motor yesterday as it had its first test run on the track. This has been a labour of love for Richie to finish off a project that the late Barry Mitchell from the Elmore Miniature Railway started.

12.01.2022 This weekend we had a couple of our members go over to our friends at VMR- Victorian Miniature Railway in Harcourt to pick up a carriage we are going to have lone off over our busy period. Thanks to guys at VMR for helping us with the loading of the carriage and letting us borrow it.

11.01.2022 Well, Richie has been out shopping again and has brought himself a little project an uncompleted model of a 280HP walker rail motor from Elmore Miniature Railway this is the uncompleted sister unit of the one that is currently operating at Elmore. This also represents a bit of local rail history as full-size trains of this type used to run through Hamilton between Ararat and Portland back in the day.
