On 2/5/09 a large number of junk emails were sent out purporting to come from NSRMA. Clearly this is not the case, and if you have received one of these we suggest you delete it without opening it or any attachment. We apologise if any offence has been caused as a result of this and we are working with our web hosting company to prevent any recurrence. Thank you.
We are considering setting up a Junior Group for modellers under the age of 18. If this is of interest to you, please get in touch using the contact details below.
One of our members' layouts was featured recently in the NorthSide newspaper, published by Cumberland Courier Newspapers. Go to NSW Main Line for more details.

Introduction
The North Shore Railway Modellers' Association (NSRMA) was formed in November 1971 by a group of individuals who, in August that year, organised a model railway exhibition on behalf of the Hornsby Police Citizens Boys Club. The club, which in its first six months was called the Hornsby Ku-Ring-Gai Model Railway Association, had the original aim of demonstrating to the public, though further exhibitions, a higher standard of modelling than was the norm in Australia at that time. From this beginning, the club has held an exhibition every year except 1974, and the layouts displayed have been at the forefront of modelling standards.
The club caters for all modelling standards and prototype interests, and now numbers about 30 members who meet in in our clubrooms in Collaroy Plateau every Tuesday and Thursday from 7.30 pm onwards. A great deal of camaraderie and a depth of knowledge exists among the membership, who come from a wide cross-section of the community.
We have two operational club layouts at the moment. These are Dungog in H0 gauge (NSW outline) and Mainline Mark 2 in 00/H0 gauge. A new layout is also planned.
