I joined the LGB and Garden Railway Club of Australia (or similar) when i lived in Sydney, its activities are centred largely but not entirely around Sydney as well; and it is well worthwhile at only $50 per annum, for the following reasons. <br /> <br />1) monthly vists to club members layouts combined with club meeting. Runnings take all day and night sometimes; meeting took ten minutes (terrific). From these visits you learn a real lot and meet a lot of charming friendly and helpfull people. <br /> <br />2) Club magazine, partly in colour every two months. <br /> <br />3) Best of all; access to very cheap club rail and a rail bender and this is the just the best way to go, when establishing a decent sized layout. (LGB and Aristo rail is just a waist of time and too costly in comparison) <br /> <br />But I have retired and moved a thousand Km away and I have lost the regular monthly meetings. To this end I would like to get a branch going locally on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland; not a new club, that would be counter productive, just a few meetings per year. No need to re-invent the wheel nor is it necessary to fix something that isn't broken. <br /> <br />When I get the next section of my layout finished (area 3) it will be big enough and interesting enough to show to others. I willhave a go then. <br /> <br /> <br />Ian. Kawana Island Tropical Railway.
