14th Australian N Scale Convention
BRISBANE, Queensland, Australia
Thursday 9th - Sunday 12th April 2015
Convention Wash-up
by Dennis Turner
After two years of planning the Brisbane N scale convention has been and gone. It started with the Micro Trains Welcome reception and Dennis Murphy's recollections of his life driving trains on American tourist railroads. It was followed by 3 days of clinics and layout visits and the official Banquet on the Saturday night which included model contest awards and featured a talk by David Mews, the curator of the Ipswich Rail Museum and ended with our super raffle. In all we received around 100 donated prizes from our sponsors.
We took over 800 photographs and these can be viewed by clicking on the following groups:
Credits for the photographs go to Stephen Ord (Registration, Banquet, Layout tour and Traders & Displays), James Costello (Port Tour & Banquet), David Bromage (Competition models), Duncan Cabassi (Layouts), Glenda Parsons (Partners Tour) and Dennis Turner (Ipswich Tour). They may be downloaded, free of royalty, provided they are for personal use or to promote N Scale modelling.
