New Zealand Model Railway Guild
The New Zealand Model Railway Guild is an Incorporated society in New Zealand that exists to provide "...a link between model railway enthusiasts with a focus on modelling the New Zealand prototype."[1]
History
The Guild began as the model railway section of the New Zealand Railway and Locomotive Society in 1947.[2] Originally known as the New Zealand Model Railway Association, it was renamed as the guild and incorporated as a separate incorporated society on 28 July 1967.[3]
Publications
The Guild publishes the New Zealand Model Railway Journal (ISSN 0028-8470) twice a year.[2] The entire archive of the journal is now online.[4]
