Thursday evenings – Mainline Mark 2 working sessions, and Dungog running sessions focusing on DCC operation, both at the clubrooms.

Monthly meetings – club meeting or layout view at a member's home, generally on the second Friday of the month.

Saturday Running Sessions – all day Saturday running sessions for Dungog and Mainline Mark 2 are now taking place regularly (generally on the third Saturday of each month) to give members that ‘operating at an exhibition feel’. It will also give members a chance to work in co-operative teams to keep the action going and reduce those periods of ‘no trains running’ which puts the exhibition visitors off. Last but not least, it will give members the opportunity to check the performance and reliability of their trains before putting them on public show.
