Hey hey, as always another enjoyable running night was had by all in attendance. Some different trains that we haven't seen run on Swan View made appearances including a well built V class by Ross Green and an ADA, ADH set built by Stuart Mackay. I have made another video for you all to enjoy so hopefully it gives you the feel as if you were there. As always I welcome feed back so do not hesitate to message me on Facebook or email me.

July Meeting 2019

Hey hey, a good turnout at this month's meeting with 33 members showing up for the meeting. The theme of the meeting was Terminus Stations of the WAGR which have good modeling and operational potential. Graham Watson provided a very informative slide presentation with photos of several key stations including Newdegate, Esperance and Flinder's Bay to name a few. Of course there were the usual Bring and Shows as well as updates from AMRA and regarding the recent exhibition and the upcoming AGM. Photos of the bring and show are below, so please enjoy.
