The Brisbane Model train Show was on, so Gai and I went off to the show grounds to see what is the largest model railway exhibition in Queensland.They had all different scale train set displays and some with live steam and sound too. The details and the back drops were fantastic as the three dimension buildings blended into the painted backs. Of course there had to be the one you could ride on and for the record - no I didn't have a ride that day.
