Model Exhibition 2012

Both young and old will be delighted with Richmond Vale Railway Museums annual Model Railway Exhibition, which will be held on the 19th and 20th of May 2011. The Model Railway Exhibition offers the visitor an opportunity to see a large variety of model railways in many different scales.

The model railways are on display at both the Richmond Main and Pelaw Main former collieries and visitors can travel between the two sites on a full size train, a unique experience offered nowhere else in Australia.

In the Entry Building you will find an N gauge layout housed in an antique TV cabinet, the Rixs Creek layout, GM World [an industrial town setting], N, OO, O and G gauge layouts, Dragons and Angels trade stall and B & S Model trade stall

Outside the entry building you will find miniature train rides [ for a small additional fee], a Model Truck trade stall and a static display of model boats.

The Mining Museum Building holds How to construct and how to build Clinics, plus mining artefacts.

Take a trip on a full sized train to Pelaw Main. These will be running throughout the day (prams can travel as well, but in the guards van, and you can collect them at the end of your journey). At Pelaw Main a stroll up the hill will bring you to the Drawing Office to see displays of trams, electric and O gauge trains. Beside the Drawing Office is the old Main Office building, where youll find Naval Memorabilia as well as model layouts.
