It’s over!!!
This past weekend, the Melbourne LEGO®
Train Club did our first public train show. It was part of the Brandon Park
Model Show, so there were models of all kinds there, although the majority were
model trains.
We had a 3m x 5m (approx) layout, plus some static displays, and a trade table.
It all went really well, here is an overall pic:
We have been invited back next year, as well as several other model shows around
Victoria in the next year.
The layout featured a large 2 track suspension bridge, large train shed,
station, mountain with hidden spaceport, forested hill with lookout, beach, town
area and lots more. We ran many trains, including some modelled after local
trains. The response from the other modellers, as well as the public, was
overwhelmingly positive, and hopefully we’ve found 1 or 2 more builders along
the way.
Anyway there are pics of the setup
here, day 1
here, and day 2 (when
we got some flabbergasted looks for deliberately derailing our trains and
crashing into our scenery)
here.
For the curious, there are also some pics of the non-LEGO displays
here. I especially liked
this 8
thread braiding machine built in Meccano, maybe I might have to try to build a
LEGO version.....
Thanks to everyone who contributed to the display, may this be the first of
many!
