Model Railway Exhibition Wagga Wagga

A big congratulations to this group who provided a great display over the weekend Saturday & Sunday 3rd/4th November at the Wagga Showground.

Exhibitors were warmly welcomed and it was great to see the ‘Stockinbingal’ layout restored and presented in such a way it drew praise from exibitors & visitors. Special thanks to Rodney Smith, his son Aiden and his team of helpers. Great effort!
