04.01.2022 Hello hello As some of you would be aware, open day should be next weekend. Unfortunately with the way the world is at the moment we need to stay closed for now. This is in the best interest of not only our members but you our guests. We are missing seeing all the happy excited faces coming for a train ride but it is what it is. My family are in isolation still as we have a child whom is high risk for covid. Soon enough life will resume back to normal and train rides will on...ce again happen We hope you are all keeping well and staying safe. Pop a hello in the comments to let us know how your going during this time of uncertainty Cheers Maree See more

01.01.2022 Hey guys just popping by with an update..... model park will be re opening for the September open day(September 27th) unfortunately at this time we have decided that the railway will NOT operate for public train rides. While i understand this is disheartening for you all, we must first look after our members most whom are in the high risk category for covid. While this is unfortunate its what we must do. I hope you all understand Cheers Maree

01.01.2022 Good morning all, due to the current situation we find ourselves living in model park has made the decision to not open for our March open day. Please stay safe out there guys. We hope to see you all in April. **** MARCH OPEN DAY CANCELLED ****
