CANCELLED UNION Pacific Model Railroad Club Open Day

Come and see one of Brisbane’s best model train club layouts in operations. Union Pacific Model Railroad Club welcome all visitors from toddler to grandparents looking for a great way to see model locos from Steam to Diesels most with life-like sounds. See some of the largest locomotives ever built.

Union Pacific Model Railroad Club’s layout is a life-like miniature world, not just trains but towns, rural scenes, mountains, bridges and tunnels. Watch as the model trains carry freight and passengers making their way from Sierra Central to Pacific Flats. Members are on hand to take you and the kids into the layout alleys and describe how it all works. With advanced electronics and lighting, Union Pacific Model Railroad Club turn day into night with thousands of tiny LEDs lighting the landscape.
