Waverley Model Railway Club – Men’s Shed

Active since 1970, we are a Melbourne based community of small-scale railway enthusiast and modellers. Our members enjoy coming together to share their passion, hone skills, pass on and acquire knowledge and run small scale railways in HO/OO and N scales.

We meet on Thursday evenings for our main train running session, with additional sessions on Tuesday afternoon and evening and Wednesday afternoon. Our clubrooms are in North Dandenong just off the Monash Freeway.

We conduct a model railway exhibition each year on the Kings Birthday Weekend in June at the Brandon Park Community Centre and participate in exhibitions conducted by other clubs around the State.
