About our shed
About Us
Active since 1970, we are a Melbourne based community of small scale railway enthusiast and modellers. Our members enjoy coming together to share their passion, hone skills, pass on and acquire knowledge and run small scale railways.
Railway modelling offers a wide range of areas of interest including woodworking to build club or exhibition modules, laying track, wiring tracks, lighting, electronics, DCC, computer systems, sound systems in locomotives, construction of scenery, bridges, roads, buildings, weathering, and even run trains… the list is never exhausted… and that is why model railways are fun!
Waverley Model Railway Club and Men’s Shed is a friendly group of people with a diverse range of railway modelling interests. Our members are modelling and scale railway enthusiasts who enjoy coming together to share their passions, hone skills and pass on knowledge.
The WMRC-MS maintains a number of permanent, exhibition and “demountable” layouts in HO/OO and N scale. Most undergo alterations and refits throughout their lives and there’s usually at least one new build in development most of the time.
Shed Activities

Positive impacts
The Australian Men’s Shed Association (AMSA) is the national service provider supporting more than 1,200 Men’s, Women’s and Community Sheds and is recognised as one of Australia’s largest male-based community development organisations.
AMSA was established in 2007 by a collection of Australian independent community-based Men’s Sheds to represent, support and promote the Men’s Shed movement. It was founded on the principle of sharing information between sheds and those communities wishing to establish and operate a Men’s Shed. It acts as a central hub for information exchange.
