A red model locomotive pulling two carriages around a decorated tree, with a tiny station beside the track
The December loop: one tree, a tiny station, plenty of laps.
ON THE HORIZON / DECEMBER 2026

Small trains.
Long afternoons.

A loop around the tree. A line across the spare room. A locomotive ready for another lap.

Track, kits and scenery at the counter. Patient fault-finding at the repair bench. Bring your questions; there’s room to start small.

Look through the shop & bench

December 1–31

The tree has a timetable.

Our holiday layout runs around the shop tree during opening hours throughout December. Free to watch; closed Mondays and December 25.

Every Saturday / 6–8pm

A little time on the line.

Club night is for comparing layouts, trying ideas and meeting other modelers. Free drop-in, beginners welcome. Bring a project or just yourself.

A first loop.
A missing piece.

Find HO and N track, building kits and scenery materials. We also look at HO, N and O locomotives at the bench; parts availability sets the limits.

Before a repair, a price.

A $20 inspection is applied to an approved repair. We explain the fault, price the work and ask before fitting parts.

Meet the bench & plan a visit
