We are a Model Engineering Club, near Hornsby NSW.

We have an extensive 5" gauge miniature railway, with a main-line length about 1 km, and running through a delightful natural bush setting. Rides are available on our monthly Public Running Days.

We also have a large G1 layout which is being developed with scale buildings and which is a 'must see' when you visit.

Our most valuable resource is a very keen membership interested in many different aspects of model engineering.

The Galston 500 is an exciting once a year event,
that raises money for research into finding a cure for Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
at The Westmead Institute for Medical Research.

It is an endurance event that sees a number of teams
operating 5 inch gauge miniature trains over a
combined total of 500 laps of the picturesque 1km track at
the Galston Valley Railway.

With plenty of entertainment planned for the day, both on and off the track, the public are welcome to come along, watch the challenge unfold, cheer on the drivers, and even get a ride behind some of the participating locomotives, as it continues throughout the day.
Public Rides are available from 10am to 3pm
