One way of motorising your points is to use old Telecom relays to throw the points. They have been widely used by many clubs and countless individuals. EMRC started using them in 1980, and thought we would share the information.

Tragic ending for a model train exhibition. It's hard to understand senseless destruction.

The Railway Museum team is delighted to advise that with the generous support of the Victorian Government, a second roof will soon be going up at the Railway Museum.

The project will ensure that heritage-listed locomotive H220 'Heavy Harry', the Museum's star exhibit, will be protected from the elements. The exact details of the size of the roof and the other exhibits it will also protect are now being worked through and further announcements will be made in the near future.

In 2017 a roof was constructed over four wooden carriages and three 19th Century steam locomotives at the eastern end of the Museum site. It has been a complete success. Not only has it enhanced conservation of these historic exhibits by protecting them from the elements, but it has also enabled a vastly improved visitor experience with better signage, better amenity and better access. We are very excited that similar improvements will soon be realised for 'Heavy Harry'.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Williamstown MP and Public Transport Minister Melissa Horne for enabling this important project to proceed.

We will keep you posted with further details of this exciting project as they are confirmed.
