    Sorry about the delay, work!

    A bit of background, originally part of the model engineers, prior to that club folding up at about the end of the Whyalla shipyard days, employment dropped and spare cash was a rare commodity, the Whyalla Model Railway Society was all that was left. a few core members managed to survive with what was to become what we now have.
    basically an "L" shaped shed with approx. 280feet of continuous mainline loop with another 60-80feet of dead end branch lines.
    All trains and track is HO Australian outline, members run what they want, all dcc. have had the German ice train loop the track in just on a minute with a shay taking nearly 22 minutes.
    the members have built and maintain the current Australian/ Whyalla based layout at the local maritime museum and display every year at our local show.
