and Victorian outline, but American and English outline are equally

ProtoFour (P4)
The South Australian Protofour Group Incorporated (P4) was initially a group of modellers interested in fine scale modelling of various English railways in 1:76 scale using the correct track gauge of 18.83mm. The group met informally from the late 1970’s gradually expanding to include like minded modellers using other scales and gauges and exhibited layouts of both English and South Australian prototypes constructed to P4 standards.
The P4 Club generally meets on Wednesdays and Saturdays in our clubrooms at the National Military Vehicle Museum in Edinburgh Parks. For further information please contact Sam Hyde (08) 8242 0819 or Terry Meads (08) 8254 6207.
South Australian Railway Modellers' Association (SARMA)
The South Australian Railway Modellers Association Incorporated was formed in 1957 by a group of modellers interested in advancing all phases of Model Railways throughout the state. SARMA's clubrooms were situated in the former apprentice workshops, within the Islington Workshops complex. SARMA has some 100+ members and offers membership in Adult, Family, Pensioner, Country and Junior/Student categories. SARMA holds formal general meetings on the second Wednesday of every month and visitors are most welcome to attend these meetings.
In 2004, the club moved to its current premises situated at "The Shed" and the "Log Cabin" on the corner of Lyons and Balmoral Roads at Dernancourt.
South Australian "N" Gauge Society (SANGS)
The South Australian 'N' Gauge Society Inc. (SANGS) was formed in November 1983. The objective is to promote N gauge (also known as N scale) model railways and to build a modular type of layout for club use and for exhibition purposes. The first SANGS layout was exhibited at the 1985 Adelaide Model Railway Exhibition. SANGS moved into its own clubroom at Islington in November 1994 and now resides at Semaphore.
The clubroom is open every Saturday of the month, and most Tuesday evenings. A general meeting and running session is held on the first Saturday of the month.
Informal clinics are occasionally held and N scale magazines, inter-club newsletters, etc are available for perusal or borrowing by members from the club library.
The clubroom is located within the RSL building on Semaphore Rd at Semaphore, about 100 metres from the esplanade.
Classic Train Collectors
Classic Train Collectors was formed by a group of local enthusiasts for the commercially-produced model railways of the past.
Many members began their interest with the popular Hornby O gauge clockwork and electric models, or their Hornby Dublo equivalents. Now they also seek out a wider range of makers, a few of which survive in production but most of which have disappeared.
If you are interested in old model trains, (tinplate, clockwork or steam), O Gauge models generally, 1 Gauge models, Hornby Dublo, old toys, Meccano or Dinky Toys, you will find much to enjoy in membership of Classic Train Collectors.
For further information regarding membership and activities, contact Graham Wood (President) on 0419 819 420 or Kay Leverett (Secretary) on (08) 8278 6014 or email kay.leverett@adelaide.edu.au.
