Hobsons Bay Exhibition 2011
Waverley Model Railway Club will be attending this year’s Hobsons Bay exhibition.
The venue will once again be the Collingwood Secondary College, Hoddle Street, Collingwood.
Entry is from Campbell Street.
We will be displaying our Victorian HO scale layout “Victoria Bridge” which is loosely based on the architecture seen on the Melbourne – Bendigo line.
This layout is fully DCC operational which allows for far more variety of train operation and more realism.
The exhibition is open on Easter Saturday and Sunday, 23rd and 24th April, but owing to Easter Monday also being Anzac Day it will not open on this day.
The opening times are 10:00 – 5:00 on both Saturday and Sunday.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Sandown Exhibition 2011
Waverley Model Railway Club will be attending the Sandown exhibition this March.

The hours are:
Saturday 10:00 – 6:00

2011 Melbourne Exhibition
The Waverley Club’s next annual exhibition will be held as usual over the three days of the Queen’s Birthday Holiday Weekend.
The Dates are 11th, 12th & 13th June 2011.
Currently booked to appear will be the Club’s 8×4 metre ‘N’ scale American layout, ‘Mystic & Oblivion’, and ‘Ashford & Littlemoor’, the 19.2 metre long British ‘OO’ scale layout, together with a selection of guest layouts. These will cover a range of scales and prototypes, from Hobsons Bay Model Railway Club’s 8×5 metre HO scale Australian (Victoria) exhibit, “Broadford”, to a small 2×1 metre European ‘N’ scale display that was constructed with weight-saving materials over a period of just a few months. In addition our British N scale layout “Georgetown” will be present, as well as the children’s favourite, Becky’s U-Drive.
There will also be modelling demonstrations, a Club ‘Sell Stand’ (our members’ pre-loved models on sale), and retailers where one can purchase books, magazines or model railway paraphernalia.
We expect to enjoy the usual support from three major model shops, and of course, light refreshments at very moderate prices will also be available.
