East Guildford Exhibition Layout (Mega) Update 03/21

Hey hey, long time no post. I thought it time we update you on the latest on East Guildford's progress and the latest news from the team. In mid-2019, East Guildford's progress was displayed at her first public exhibition. Whilst the layout was far from finished, people got a glimpse of what the layout could look like once completed.

Since that time, like most clubs, the team was subjected to the restrictions and lockdowns placed on the community due to the worldwide pandemic of late 2019. This somewhat slowed the progress on East Guildford and impacted almost all operations at the club where the layout is located. Despite these setbacks, the layout has continued to grow to a point it now has running trains on both DC and DCC as well as the foundations for scenery and buildings.

Below is a selection of photos and a video of the progress made to East Guildford over the last 24 months. If you would like to know more, or get involved, then do not hesitate to come down to the AMRA WA Clubrooms at 24 Moojebing St Bayswater WA and speak to some of our lovely volunteers.

Finally, a huge thank you to the volunteers who have kept the layout progressing, even during the current pandemic, including but not limited to; Trevor Burke, Greg Aitken, Murray Hartzer and Neil Blinco.

On a side note, do not forget about the AMRA WA Open Day on the 4th of July 2021. We will have Swan View operating and you can see the progress on East Guildford for yourself.
