New Plymouth Model Railway Club

New Plymouth Model Railway Club We are a group of like minded persons who have built an HO Model Railway layout in a once rundown farm building.

The layout features our own railroad " Central Western" which uses the Fruit Salad scheme that still adorn some of the Kiwi Rail locomotives that currently operate on the New Zealand Railway system. Our layout is built on "L"Girder framework, we run mainly Atlas & Kato locomotives but still have some modified Athearn units running. The Club owns all of the Central Western locomotives running on the layout along with all of the rolling stock. We run Atlas track and Peco turnouts and we use Digitrax DCC as our control system.

Happy Monday everyone. Sun is bright here so far today, so an awesome day before our 1 of 2 operations nights tonight at...

Heres something abit different, a member likes to create something different for his layout. Here is a HO locomotive, long hood of a New Zealand Railways DA loco with the cab of a DG rebuild cab, definitely unique running round the NPMRC layout on free running night.
