Yesterday I attended the Forestville Model Railway Exhibition with my friends Geoff and John. For a small exhibition, there was a decent number of layouts, displays and traders with a variety of products, the bring and buy stand had some gems amongst the junk, but as always the junk heavily outweighed anything of actual value. A good number of modellers were demonstrating techniques, I was keen to see Lee Styger building some KB Models skips, of which I have built dozens in the past, although he was assembling them to 9mm gauge rather than my beloved O14.
One trader I was keen to see is
Railway Coins, who make beautiful enamel coins of various railway subjects. I have been following their activites on
FaceAche for a while and saw a coin featuring the Emu Bay Railway's 10 and 11 class diesels on one side and the Dubs 4-8-0 No6 Murchison on the other. For $15 (+3 for the stand) it was the best money I spent at the show.
Railway Coins also sell by mail order and will be attending other train shows in the future. Their website is
