I made it through the crowds to the Epping Model Railway Club's exhibition at Rosehill Gardens this morning. While the following photos may disappoint the show certainly didn't. In no particular order, here's action from some of the Australian-themed layouts...
Gresham
Dungog
Goulburn
Wyee
As the sign says... Bombo
Bullenbung Creek
Ettamogah
Glasson
Otham Road
Waterfall
Moruya
Borderline
Monbulk - this is 1:350 scale!
Carlingford
Mungo Scotts
A Small Depot
If the layout you wanted to see wasn't photographed, it is probably because I flubbed the photo. Sorry.
As an exhibition, Rosehill is as good as it gets in my experience. Carpeted floors, good lighting, great facilities, interesting workshops, decent refreshments, good company and plenty of engaged traders with interesting gear to buy.
And the layouts - none were unworthy of being there. We have some very talented modellers around at the moment. Some of the newer layouts, like A Small Depot, Yarrawa and Inner West, are just terrific. And all would fit into a single bedroom.
If you get a chance tomorrow, there are worse things than getting along to the show.
Cheers
Don
