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.

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.
