Thanks for your great coverage and comments regarding our layout Checkamus Canyon. Good to catch up with you again and that most things behaved themselves when you were around to video.

I feel really bad because Alex the lone guy running Ffarquhar, I was supposed to be helping him with this show but I shattered my foot the night before. It took a solid few hours in the hospital that night to realise I wasn't doing the train show anymore. Come Sandown in March and I was very happy to be there!

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to go in person so it is always appreciated when you showcase the layouts in your usual excellent style. The Blue Mountains layout looks excellent and it is so nice to see the varied and attractive trains of NSW being displayed. The Caves Express, how evocative of an exciting destination. I noticed quite a few Hornby items in there and was amused to see a 38 class NSW steam loco hauling a rake of Hornby LMS coaches that even contained an old Tri-ang R21 coach snuck in there for good measure. It's all good fun and trains are trains, no matter where they come from. It seemed that the OO items didn't look too out of place on a layout for HO. I loved it. All the layouts were fab and I just wish I could have caught the Tait to Flemington, maybe next year. 👍😊

Hi Will, as usual your report on the Melbourne Model exhibition was excellent. It was very nice meeting you at the Wandong inter club run on Saturday. The weather was perfect and it was one of the biggest interclub runs we have ever had. Some time ago I suggested to you if you had time, have a look at the live steam part of our wonderful hobby. I told my son Greg about it and he decided to invite you to our interclub run. I was not sure about this as you usually promote exhibitions and train trips etc. that are open to the public. I very pleased you came and I hope you enjoyed yourself. I did see you running around on a locomotive late in the afternoon so I guess you did.

Thanks for another great exhibition report Will. It was interesting with the (enforced) change due to the works at Caulfield, it felt extremely busy at times. Based on a conversation with you at your stall it sounds like they just had way more people than they were expecting this year, which is great on one hand but I could see how it might be disappointing to people on the other. Overall I still found it to be a great show again this year, looking forward to the next one! Cheers!

@johnd8892 10 ай бұрын

Thanks for all your work providing this Will. The descriptions said "we'll see exhibits in many different scales, countries and eras" Yes we did...often mixed up on the the same layout exhibit. Even though great care and effort was taken for most of the layout to represent a particular location and era in one scale, for some reason numerous items of different scales, countries, locations and eras that would not be seen in the location and era sometimes crept in.

@billroach2393 10 ай бұрын

KATOOMBA...what a beautiful layout...but a shame they allowed unprototypical trains such as the 38 hauling pommy carriages, the small open cab steam loco hauling pommy 4 whhel stock and a 38 hauling a goods train without a guards van. Surely, if you're going to so much effort to create a great layout, it would be relatively easy to continue the theme with more accurate rolling stock.

Mate those were my trains. I'm a uni student & the sole breadwinner of the family. I don't have the resources to spend $1000+ on one consist. We're not a supremist club at NSRMA. Note the Southern Aurora & the XPT also running.

@DJP-ph7yj 10 ай бұрын

Maybe its just me, but if IF the namesake really means anything at all - and you're modelling American, British, German or Japanese.. I feel this is not the exhibition for you, because Its the AUSTRALIAN model railway exhibition. We should also hold one separately for international railways for those interested in that.

@WillJamesRailways 10 ай бұрын

Hey! Thanks for watching! However, I think something might have been misinterpreted here. It’s run by the Australian Model Railway Association (AMRA VIC) we model everything at the club, it’s not exclusive to Australian prototypes! However I would love to see an all Australian exhibition, there is at least one European exhibition that happens in Sydney I believe!
