Hi guys,

A few pics of the very realistic model railway in our museum. Sorry, the pics don't do it too much justice.....much better when you see it for real. Enjoy!

JJ Irani · 30 November 2005, 03:50 PM

WOW, that's pretty awesome. Looks very lifelike.

You even managed to put sheep in there.

padi56 · 30 November 2005, 10:08 PM

Nice sheep JJ the rest of the picture look quite real,had quite a large set up in my attic at one time.

Uncle-AJ · 30 November 2005, 11:27 PM

Yes you would need a case to stand on Adrian, those camels are much higher than the Welsh mountain sheep.

JJ, I will take pics of my FIL's upstairs. He has a 9 track layout that is unreal. He has done all the work himself too.

I look forward to those pics, Daren.

Thanks for the pics, JJ. I was into model railroading as a kid and have always loved them. Takes me back a few years. We'll have to put the museum's layout on the must see list when we get over there.

Ed, when you go, don't opt for the guided tour... I hear the person giving the tours is a bald loonie who flashes he teeth and his TT YM (which is fake, btw) and blinds the tourists.

Actually, I was planning to go to Mansor's or the Nike store. I understand they have some really good tour guides there who can show you the interesting sites in Auckland.

Did they have electric trains back then or did you just pull them on a string?

Only a son could get away with ribbing his dad like that.
