Eastbank Model Railway Club consists of a small group of widely dispersed friends who share an extremely diverse interest in railways, prototype and model, domestic and foreign.
We presently have three layouts available for display at model railway exhibitions, "Magersfontein", our H0 scale representation of South African Railways in the 1980's and "Andersonville", representing in N scale the operations on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe and Union Pacific Railroads in the present day.
Our most recent layout is a Meccano commissioned, Hornby Dublo 2 rail layout from the 1960's that was rescued from a rubbish bin. We have now fully restored this demonstrator train set to its original 1960's condition. It is appropriately titled "Binns".
We also have another N scale layout with a North American theme under construction, "Maple", depicting the SOO Line in the 1970's.
Follow the links below for information on our layouts and just some of the interests of our members.
