THE MURRAY RAILWAY MODELLERS INC.

The Murray Railway Modellers Inc. was born out of a train show in May 2008. The group’s aims are to enjoy the hobby and social activities and to promote the great hobby of model railways within the community. Membership is open to anyone who shares our aims. We have refurbished and modified an extensive HO layout, "Murranbilla" purchased from The Eltham Model Railway Club. All of the track has been re-laid and DCC control installed. There is also an extensive British outline HO DC layout. A new HO DCC Club layout is being constructed.

In 2012 The Murray Railway Modellers were invited by the volunteers at the Old Telegraph Office in the historical gold mining town of Beechworth Victoria to build a model of the Beechworth railway station and yard which closed in 1977. Our members agreed and have installed the model in a special room at the Telegraph Office. The railway was opened by the The late Tim Fisher AC, former Deputy Prime Minister, in December 2012.

The Murray Railway Modellers meet every Wednesday night at our club room at the Wodonga Showground just off Wilson Street. The start time is 7:00pm. We have members interested in Z, N, HO, S, and O gauges. New members are always welcome.
