1 Australia & New Zealand Model Engineering Club Listing Each entry has five (or six) dot-points following the club name containing the following information: Location of Miniature Railway Track gauges or other facilities Public running day (each month) Postal address Google Earth (GPS) coordinates Website address and/or contact This listing has been sorted alphabetically by State or Island and Club Name (in that order). There are bound to be inaccuracies in the list but it is as upto-date as we know it. Club Secretaries please check your club's details for errors, or if your club is not listed, please inform AME as soon as possible. The Clubs listing on the AME Website is compiled from the same information so it would be a good idea to check that is correct also. The list is usually kept up-to-date from information supplied by club newsletters. Unfortunately most of them do not contain basic information such as public running days, hence the several unknowns. If your club has a website you can have a link placed on AME s website Club Directory page by sending an to editor@ameng.com.au with the subject Club Listing. Please double check that the link URL you are supplying is correct. Some clubs are listed as No public running but welcome visiting model engineers. The protocol is to write to the club first and arrange a mutual time for your visit. Members of clubs with AALS insurance are reminded that they should inform their home club of their intention to visit other clubs. This listing is updated and published every few years the website listing is updated on an ongoing basis.
