Thanks for the photos and commentary Mr Pew. Our display was most impressive and during the time I was there the public were asking lots of questions and passing on many compliments. Always takes me a day or two to get over the number of railway displays and memorabilia. Might have to get my kids train set out from under the house...maybe.

Thanks for the gallery of photos of the weekend Craig, but you did miss out on a display that turns up & gives me, at least, a great deal of pleasure
every year & here are some photos that I took. I don't think that you could classify them as 'dolls houses', but I would call them 'delicious domestic
dioramas', maybe they appeal to my suppressed inner female !!! but they always make me smile. I recall I did happen to make the mistake of asking
a question of one of the display ladies a couple of years ago ! sometimes it's a bonus to have hearing aids that can be switched orf !
And speaking of bargain trains, I did acquire a new steam loco at a very pleasant price. A BR Standard 4MT 2-6-0 for those who know about these things, & also a beautifully bashed about & weathered BHP ore wagon for $5.

Allan.
