Model Railway Exhibition  by onewing

Model Railway Exhibition

Apparently you can't go to Coffs Harbour without visiting a model railway exhibition, well that is David's theory at least. It is one of the reasons we went there.

His friend Rob, who David and some other mates build a model railway with here in Port Stephens was up there because Rob actually sells model trains and had a stall at the exhibition. Of course, David had to call in there while we were in Coffs to show some support didn't he. ha ha.

Rob is home again too now and I am sure they will have plenty to talk about tomorrow when they are all at Rob's house building their railway again in his double garage.
A lovely shot and exhibition. Some men remain boys all their life ;-)

Great capture, my husband would enjoy this, he had a large model railway set for many years...& his mates came & "played."

How nice for them to have this common interest. Great pic of the set up.

This looks almost for real. Beautiful capture.

The figures on the station look to be waiting very patiently

Super place to visit. Have you heard about the one in Hamburg? Supposed to be the biggest in the world!
January 11th, 2019  
Very nice display!
January 11th, 2019  
Lovely shot, Babs. Trains are always so interesting.
January 11th, 2019  
Super shot of this cool display
January 11th, 2019  
Ha Ha boys and their toys I'm sure they had lots to talk about during and after the trip, lovely image Babs:)

At least you should have access to the figures, great for use in macro shots

nice. my hubby would love this
January 11th, 2019  
Nicely captured, a great display

Great capture, my husband is building a modeltrain track. Love those little people.

My brother-in-law (who's passed) loved model trains too. He had several tracks running around his attic which he also modeled after the cock pit of the Star Wars space ship. It was an odd mixture, but it worked! Nice shot! I don't know if there's a Norfolk and Western line in Australia but it was a very well-known line here in the States for a long time. I'm not sure if it's still around or not.

My husband would love it. He is building a model train layout.
January 11th, 2019  
Had to do a double take - I thought it was a real scene!

Model trains are such an amazing hobby....I know they can be incredibly realistic with all the accessories to make it realistic. I know the singer Rod Stewart is a great model railway enthusiastic.
January 11th, 2019  
Great capture of this nice display.
January 11th, 2019  
Very realistic!
January 11th, 2019  
It looks so real. Good capture.

@ludwigsdiana @stray_shooter @Dawn @maggiemae @dide @bella_ss @sangwann @beryl @angelar @radiogirl @mittens @seattlite @yorkshirekiwi @brennieb @carolmw @flowerfairyann @pyrrhula @loweygrace @henrir Thanks, there were lots of displays like this. Boys and their toys. Growing old is inevitable growing up is optional.

@happysnaps I bet they had lots of fun. Hasn't he got his railway any more?

@gigiflower So does David ha ha

@casablanca I thought of you when I took this photo.

@peterday My attention span for model railways is about half an hour. Once I have taken the photos I need a cup of tea.

@busylady Yes, David has been to the one in Hamburg. He used to go to Germany regularly during his RAF days and Hamburg was always on the list.

@pcoulson ha ha, they always have plenty to talk about when it comes to trains.



@jacqbb How interesting, you will have to post a photo of your husbands trains.

@olivetreeann How lovely, I do hope that somebody in the family has still got his train lay out

@mave Would love to see a photo of your husbands model train layout.

@happypat I think it is a never ending hobby. I didn't know Rod Stewart was a model railway enthusiast. I bet his layout is quite expensive. Mind you having said that I think Rob's layout is worth around $100,000 so far. It is huge and spans all of their double garage.

Nice shot
January 12th, 2019  
Never let a good train go by.
January 12th, 2019  
Fun shot. Lovely models.
January 12th, 2019  
A great shot. I love model railway exhibitions.
January 12th, 2019  
@onewing He is busy with scenery and buildings but later ......
January 12th, 2019  
No, we moved to a smaller home & didn't have the space we had underneath in the old place.
January 12th, 2019  
No matter how old, all boys love trains.
