In lugnet.loc.au, James Howse writes all manner of good stuff about a
prospective train show.
Don't see myself manning a stand (being such a delicate flower, and not
being a trainfiend) but there are some things I can do:
kick in some dough
provide all the sea baseplates and 6 of the green
cover the 3 x 3 plates on the road side of the river
(ie 3 sea, 6 land), with a large ship moored in the
river and an Australiana Park c/w railway station,
small barracks (4 sided, ~16 x 32), stage coach,
gaol (3 sided ~ 8 x 30) and ample marching red coats
and convicts, and visitors, parked cars, bus etc.
(I'd happily forego the curve and straight road
plates, and build an entrance gate at the cross
roads. There'd be space for a period steam engine
too - I can provide one, but I imagine a
trainfiend could provide a much better one to sit
on a display track.)
put a paddle steamer in the river, optionally packed
with tourists
help with setup early Saturday morning, and with
knock down Monday afternoon.
Questions:
how big is the step down to the water?
Do we have a first week of April fest to demonstrate
to ourselves and take photos for organisers? If its
not too far for everyone, I can organise the
Mittagong RSL again...
how do we thank James for his work on this so far?

Still baldly going...
