ACT Model Railway Society

The ACTMRS Inc is based in the grounds of the Australian Railways Historical Society (ACT Division) museum at Kingston.

Membership is open to all with an interest in railway modelling, and the annual subscription covers all family members including children up to 16 years.

What we model:

We currently have members modelling Z, N, OO, HO and O scales, in both standard and narrow gauges. Our members and families are involved in the building and running of their individual home layouts, a layout in our restored EHO parcel van at the museum, and a number of exhibition layouts.

Our Meetings and Activities:

Our meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month (except January) at the ARHS museum, Kingston, starting at about 7:45PM.

We try to offer something of interest to all our members:

  • Displaying the exhibition layouts at model exhibitions;
  • Conducting formal modelling workshops;
  • Railway-related video nights, and members's slide nights;
  • Informal discussions of modelling tchniques and interests;
  • Bring and Show" meetings;
  • Operating sessions - some using timetables for running, or with the Society's Digital Command Control system;
  • Social functions (such as barbeques, dinners, etc.);
  • Production of the "The Shunter" newsletter.
