Life member Ross Edmondson was among those who stumbled across the spray-painted tags at the Virginia Street site early on Monday morning.
Elsewhere, the lock on a ticket window was jimmied, with a fire extinguisher inside then used to spray a walkway around the clubhouse.
“The name there [in the graffiti], S-l-y; Sly, I don’t know who Sly is, I hope the coppers know who he is,” Mr Edmondson told the Mercury.
“It’s very disappointing.”
Mr Edmondson said it wasn’t the first time the Steamers had had “nocturnal visitors”, with two locomotives stolen a couple of years ago.
“They only do damage, that’s all it is,” he said.
Wollongong police are investigating the latest incident, which is believed to have happened between lunch time on Saturday and Monday morning.
Illawarra Live Steamers is a non-profit organisation that operates a miniature railway.
