Model Railway Open Weekend 3-4 October
With the cancellation of the Big Model Train Show at Pioneer Stadium, we've decided to open up our 2 main layouts. This is a rare opportunity for you to run your own model trains on our extensive N Gauge and 16.5mm Gauge HO/OO model railway club layouts. Our 16.5mm gauge HO/OO layout is the largest club owned layout of its type in New Zealand and offers both DC and DCC (NCE) operation, whilst the N Gauge layout is DC operation only. Both layouts offer 2 mainlines.
Running is by pre-booked appointment only. You may book a 30 minute running slot and if you require a longer running time, simply book multiple slots. Cost is $10 per 30 minute slot. Slots are available from 8.30am to 3.00pm on Saturday and 8.30am to 4.00pm on Sunday.
Garden City Model Railroad Club is located at the Ferrymead Heritage Park. We will provide you with full access and operating details at the time of booking. To book your running slot, please contact the Club Secretary on 0274 547 543 or email gcmrc.secretary@gmail.com
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
