This site is to promote the vision of the North East railway and the hard work being done by our volunteers and supporters.

Only six calendars left.
They are $25 and I'll keep the postage down to $6 per calendar. If you order three or more, I can get them into a $15 prepaid satchel.
As usual we will hand deliver to any of the Launceston suburbs and the Lilydale surrounds at no cost. Some of our members live a bit further afield so by all means ask if we have anyone in your area to save you the postage.
As well as paying in cash on delivery or pickup you can pay in or transfer to our bank, Westpac BSB 037-608, Account 533955 or by credit / debit card over the phone with me, Mark.
I'm on 0491 748 571 and can be emailed at [email protected].
If there's a problem contacting me, you can call the group phone 0473 505 872.
Thanks to all who have supported us in the past and those who continue to do so.

So today, we have finally had our first members (non public) test day of all 3 Railbugs and our electric Railbug Assist vehicle (ex ride-on lawnmower) What a brilliant turnout, day, and end result. Everyone had a fantastic time, positive feedback from everyone.
Thanks to everyone for the effort that was put in this week on the finishing touches to it all, and also all the food and work that went into providing everyone with an absolute smorgasbord of incredible food and drinks.

Another busy day at L&NER, board meeting, more track work and testing and training.
