The RMCQ is a club for anyone who likes to make, run, talk about, or simply watch... Model Trains
Find out more about our club by exploring this web site, or visit our Club Rooms on most Saturdays and Wednesdays between 9:00am and 2:00pm. (11:00am - 1:00pm recommended)
Visitors are welcome!
For those who don't get to the club often, don't be surprised when you drive in next time, as there is something new parking there - a bl00dy big building!
Today a bunch were running up and down the helix and onto the bridge on the top deck. This was all in preparation for the, not too far down the track, opening of some more trackage - this time on the top deck.
The Germans made it to the top today with a steam powered mixed freight.
The free version of Trackside Model Railroading, November issue, is now available for people to read. Just head over to their website and login. If you don't have a login, create one as it is free and they don't spam you. The emag is a good read.

Only 10 months away now - the N Scale convention which is down in Adelaide next year.
Check it out a new shop, "MAC Hobbies and Toys"
By Paul (PK) Kaluschke
Check it out, a new Hobby shop on the northside, "MAC Hobbies and Toys". A few members have already been there and reckon if they haven't got something they'll get it in and are willing to start stocking things people are asking for.
Always worth a visit to a new shop to get to know them and their stocks. So if you are in the vacinity, pop into the new one - MAC Hobbies and Toys:
or
Unit 2, 14-18 Discovery Drive, North Lakes
Today we could all view the beginnings of the new shed - the trailer shed.
The concreters had been down late in the week and boxed and poured the new slab for the upcoming 4 bay shed. So Gabby now has a new job for a week or so - hosing the slab down to keep it moist.

MRH is a free monthly railroad modelling magazine that is definitely worth a read. Have you read yours lately?
So last weekend, the 17th Sept, was the Modelling the Railways of Queensland Convention. What a great weekend I had.
One of the layouts I visited as part of the convention was of course "Wattle Flat" - what a great NSW, HO scale layout Darren has out there - fantastic. Check out the odd 1 or 20 or more photos over on my blog:

Have you seen? If you have installed the latest version of SCARM, you can drive a train around it in 2D or 3D. Get to see roughly what your layout design is like from a more realistic perspective. AND of course it is all free - basic, but free.
