Wascoe Siding
Blue Mountains Railway Society Membership
People interested in railways and railway model engineering are invited to become members of the Blue Mountains Railway Society. Adult Membership is open to persons 16 years of age and over, and Junior Membership can be arranged for suitable people aged 12 to 15.
Potential members must attend the park on three operational days and satisfy the Board that they are suitable persons to become members. There is an annual membership fee.
Members may undergo training and accreditation in the many aspects of railway operation, including station staff, guard, yardmaster, ticket seller, canteen operation, signaller, diesel/electric driver and steam driver.
Members may participate in all activities for which they become qualified, on running days, on special operating days, at working bees and at seniors days. Regular members meetings are held on-site at Wascoe Siding.
The Society also encourages members to build locos, carriages, goods wagons etc, and individual members will often advise and assist new members in these endeavours.
Members can, in due course, aspire to become members of the Board which manages the park. This involves an extra commitment of time and the attendance at monthly Board meetings.
