The volunteer members of Hornsby Model Engineers would like to thank all those that attended our running day today ~ Sunday, 13th October 2024. We all had a great time and with the number of parties spread all over the site looked like you did too.

Weather permitting, our next running day will be on Sunday, 10th November 10am till 3pm [4 weeks away].

We will be running our sausage sizzle, canteen and new coffee van at the entrance, also our garden railway is just down the short path near the entrance which the kids can get to control a Gauge 1 model train.
