Hutt Valley Model Engineering Society Miniature Railway - Petone
|
|
To get here, follow the Petone Esplanade until you see the Mobil station on the right. Take the next right (Kirkcaldy St) and the next right (Marine Parade). From Eastern Hutt, take the Wellington exit from the Hutt Park roundabout (rotary) and take the first left once you've crossed the Hutt River bridge. You can also carry on and turn left immediately past Mobil.
Meetings are at 7:30pm on the first Wednesday of every month (except January) at our Marine Parade clubrooms. We usually have guest speakers on interesting topics and a "show and tell" table. Special visits to factories or other engineering-related sites, club auctions and the annual barbecue round out our monthly activities. Visitors are welcome at any time.
Track running takes place every fine Sunday from late January through to Christmas, starting at 1pm until 4pm-ish (maybe earlier if there are very few passengers). Members are rostered for track duty two or three times a year, though you can turn up at any time to help and have fun. Driver training is encouraged and members have the opportunity to become certified to drive both diesel and steam locomotives belonging to the club. Visiting modellers are asked to make themselves known to the members on duty - you're guaranteed a chat and maybe a cup of tea!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place for the kids, or even adult kids. The trains are fun to ride on and the staff are all really friendly. $2 for 3 laps of the track. That's a bargain. There is also a multi trip option but we just did the one ride. Bring cash though as they don't have EFTPOS.
