New SCARM version
The latest version of my favourite Railway CAD program has been released. SCARM is used extensively at the club for the design of the club layouts.
The new version is a bug fix for the version which was released at the begining of the month.
Read on for the release notes on the new version (0.9.36) and the previous version (0.9.35).
3ft 6in Gauge Track Powered Up
The partly completed 3ft 6in (12mm) track on upper deck was power up on Saturday (I believe for the first time) and a pair of locos were given a run.
Sept Model Railroad Hobbyist
The September edition of the Model Railroad Hobbyist Magazine is now available AND it's free!
Rakem Emporium has new home
Rakem Emporum is local shop that many club members have purchased from. They have recently moved from Bribie Island to Petrie, not all that far from the clubhouse.

TV Celebrity
We have a new TV Celebrity in the Club...
... for a few seconds anyway :-)
Channel Nine New Gold Coast broadcast a nice piece on the Gold Coast Train Show which includes a few seconds of the RMCQ N scale layout and a sound bite of PK talking about controling trains with our phones.
