Our class leading R700 Coal Burner is in high demand and is clearly the most popular in the Hudson range.

Each year, over the Easter Holidays, the Hobson’s Bay Model Railway Club holds a model railway exhibition. This exhibition is unique amongst such events in this country in that we stipulate that all layouts that are exhibited must be Australian prototypes.

Since it’s inception in 1994, the exhibition was held at the Albert Park Collage but has since moved to a new home at Collingwood College, for the three days of the event. Aside from the layouts, we have the usual compliment of trade stands – both new and second hand – as well as “how to” demonstration stands and representatives from many of the local manufacturers and importers.

Vale John Sargent

John — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 10:51:52 +0000

It is with much sadness that we inform you of the passing of John Sargent. John was well known throughout our community and has left behind a number of legacies. Firstly his great love which was Precision Scale Models and secondly Train Hobby Publications.

Growing up in the Riverina district of Southern New South Wales, John’s love of the railways started at a very young age and it would be very fair to say that he was one who “lived the dream!”

Precision Scale Models was established in 1989 with a mission to build the very best brass models railways for the Australian marketplace. “Quality Without Compromise” was the tagline which was embraced by PSM and that was all John was interested in delivering to his very loyal customers.

It was during the mid 1990′s that John began his publishing empire and it would be from that moment forward that he would revolutionise the way a locomotive would be profiled, a branchline would be brought back to life or a “C38″ disappearing into a sunset would be enjoyed over and over again.

John passed away peacefully early on Sunday morning the 13th November 2011. While John’s vision, passion, intelligence and wit will be greatly missed, his friends I am sure, will ensure his memory and legacy will live on and on and on…

Victorian Railways “R” Class Hudson Steam Locomotive 4-6-4 NOW AVAILABLE

John — Sun, 27 Mar 2011 10:46:58 +0000

One of Australia’s most famous and powerful express passenger steam locomotives is about to stamp it’s authority in Victorian Railways history. Described as one of the ‘Black Diamond’ classics, the post World War II implementation was as spectacular as it was short lived. With the imminent arrival of the VR’s first mainline diesel electric locomotive, the “B” Class, it wasn’t long before they were relegated to become the mainstay power for the seasonal grain harvest duties.

The “Big Hudson” will always be remembered in it‘s full glory, double-headed on some of Victoria’s most magnificent lines. They were just some of the most amazing sights and sounds in our railway history.

Today, Precision Scale Models has embarked upon one of the most exciting projects in it‘s history. The Victorian Railways “R” Class Hudson Steam Locomotive 4-6-4 in “O” Scale. “A classic prototype – a classic model.”
