2010 Exhibition
13 July 2010 : The 2010 MMACA Exhibition is now well and truly over. It would be fair to say that it was probably one of the technically best we have had. Everything happened when it should, well almost. Boats sailed, lights on –lights off, cars raced instead of simply displays, planes / helicopters flew inside and out and trains steamed on schedule. And the pool developed only the smallest of leaks. Of course other activities Model Train Layouts and drift cars continued right throughout both days. For a full report click here.

Boulder Creek Tramway
The Boulder Creek Tramway is a 7¼" (184mm) gauge miniature bush railway that is currently under construction at Howden, approximately 15 minutes south of Hobart in Tasmania. For more information and to follow the progress of construction click here.

Future developments

MMACA is working to develop a unique model park at Goodwood in Hobart's northern suburbs. The first stage, involving clubrooms and two model car tracks, has been completed. The story of how it came to be is told here. A plan of how the finished park will look and a map showing how to get there are also on the Model Park page.
