Our Mission

GHLS, in collaboration with the Hamilton Museum of Steam and Technology, operates a miniature ride-on/ride-behind tourist railway, delighting visitors of all ages with enjoyable and educational exposure to rail operations, rail safety, and Canadian railway heritage; maintains its assets and infrastructure in top condition; operates with the highest standards of safety; and works to grow interest in the hobby and in our membership.

Our goals are to:

 – Share a common interest in current and historic railroading with our members and the Public
– Provide free rides on miniature trains for the Public, especially families with children
– Promote the miniature railroad hobby
– Educate the Public about live steam engines and steam locomotives
– Assist each other with all aspects of the hobby
– Maintain our track, locomotives and rolling stock, facilities and operations  

Club meetings are normally held on the last Sunday of the month (excluding May, June, July, August and December), starting at 1:00 pm at the Hamilton Museum of Steam and Technology, 900 Woodward Ave. in Hamilton.
