All aboard! The Sunbury Model Railway Club is hosting its annual model train exhibition this month.
The exhibition will include demonstrations of model train sets and modelling techniques along with trade stands selling a variety of model trains and railway parts.
Sunbury Model Railway Club treasurer and exhibition organiser Michael Holian said that building and operating model trains is a multidisciplinary pursuit.
“It seems to draw a lot of people that are just into trains generally [who] either photograph them and then they want to get into models [or] they like the technical side of it. There are a lot of different aspects,” Mr Holian said.
“I started as a kid. My father was involved in the hobby and he’s been a member of the club for as long as I can remember. He was treasurer of the club for 21 years and when he stood down as treasurer I took over him. It’s sort of been a father-son activity,” he said.
He said that the club is always looking for new members – especially younger people – to get involved with the hobby.
The exhibition will be held on Saturday, October 19 and Sunday, October 20 from 10am–5pm at St Anne’s Hall in Sunbury.
