Queensland Model Railway Show
Ipswich
See the tiny and captivating world of model railways under the one roof at the Queensland Model Railway Show this weekend, hosted by the Workshops Rail Museum.
Railway modellers, demonstrators, and traders are travelling from near and far to showcase their passion, talent and wares to Museum visitors for the weekend dedicated to small trains of various scales.
The show is hosted in historic Workshops, which built and maintain the steam heritage fleet. Visitors will see trains from different Australian states and overseas in their miniature form on landscapes depicting real and fictitious locations.
Meantime younger visitors can make toy wooden carriages and trains to take home at 1 hr workshops (11am, 1pm), engage in traincraft activities, build railway layouts at Construction Station and let off steam in the indoor Nippers Railway playground.
Need to know: Entry for the Show is included in the standard Museum entry fee, so visitors can enjoy the show and experience the Museum's hands on exhibits and stories of rail in Queensland's past.
