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]
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]
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]
Several special interest groups exist within the guild, usually specific to model railway scales, such as the NZ120 group, [5] and the 9mm scale group. [6] The most popular scale for modeling New Zealand's railways is Sn3.5. [7]
