Hamilton Model Engineers - dual-gauge 5" and 7¼"

 

January 2008

Visit the website of the Hamilton Models Engineers - http://www.hme.co.nz/ - I am a member of this society.

I visited the Hamilton Model Engineers for the fist time in January 2008; they are the club closest to our home. The club has mostly dual-gauge 5" and 7¼" gauge track (though there appears to be some 3½" gauge in places). With two separate circuits it is nicely laid out and a pleasure to ride on.

The old New Zealand Railways signal box from Frankton Junction has been moved on to the site
