The School is blessed with an extensive cellar area, which extends right under the building and one room of this is dedicated to the train layout.

The layout consists of a working electrical track with a variety of locomotives and rolling stock.  Scenery and track layout are part of the ongoing project as the children use their spare time to create a realistic model. 

Hobbies time on Saturdays and Wednesdays sees keen train enthusiasts hammering, sticking, operating and cleaning the layout.  The group consists of boys and girls from Form 1 to Form 5; the prime qualification is patience, the desire to tinker and an interest in model-making.
