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 & Wednesdays (9:30am-1:00pm) and Fridays (9:30-11:30am)
Visitors are welcome! - We are open during the COVID-19 pandemic, but we require that members and visitors must adhere to our COVID-19 rules.
Following the cancellation of our 2020 and 2021 model train shows due to Covid crowd limits, the RMCQ has been searching for a larger local venue for next year. We are excited to announce that the following event details for 2022. Please save the date in your diaries:
South Pine Model Train & Hobby Expo
Sat - Sun 9-10 July 2022
South Pine Sports Complex
620 Cribb Rd, Brendale Qld 4500
The hall is almost twice the size of the old venue, allowing many more layouts to be accommodated. The lighting is brilliant and the facilities are first class, providing an excellent opportunity for us to showcase the 'greatest hobby in the world' to the SE Qld model railway community, as well as the public.More details will be published in due course.

The latest issue of this eMag has just hit the airwaves.
The N Scale Railroading Magazine is a FREE online magazine.
Although our 2021 Expo was cancelled, the raffle was not as a few tickets had already been sold. The results of the draw were:
- First prize. Hornby Flying Scotsman train set, Chris Leech
- Second prize. Ozito 240V twin cutter, Col Rough
- Third prize. Wooden ride-on train, and 95 piece wooden train set, Chris Leech
We would like to thank all of those from the other clubs and public who supported us by buying some raffle ticktes. We made a small profit from the raffle, which overall meant we roughly broke even following cancellation of the 2021 Expo.
For those who are wondering, Chris, who is not a club member, purchased a large number of tickets to help the club overcome our potentail losses. Not only is he a great guy, but also lucky!
Check out a video of a run on the club G Scale layout with Quentin's live steamer and train of Gabby's.
