Meeting at the Fremantle Prison twice a week, club members spend their hours working on train layouts, making improvements and, of course, running the trains.
Club secretary Graeme Campbell said ages ranged from students to retirees, who all enjoyed the friendly atmosphere of the club.

‘We also have a new layout which is still being developed where members can contribute and learn new skills along the way.
