The Sunshine Model Railway Club is on track for a big showing this weekend, as it heads to Braybrook for the annual model train show.
Group organiser Joe Saliba said lots of hard work has gone into this year’s display, with the set looking as good as ever.
He said his love of trains got him originally involved, and he finds himself unable to step away.
“I don’t know why I keep coming back, it’s like an addiction,” he laughed.
“The club has been going since September 1996, I joined in January 1997… I have always liked trains since I was about six.”
The club meets twice a week in Albion, on Tuesday mornings and Thursday nights, and encourages anyone wanting to join to have a chat with members at the show.
The team of more than 25 members buys and builds parts and bring them together to create an impressive model.
To the club it in action, head to the Braybrook Secondary College basketball stadium on Burke Street, from 9.30am to 5pm on Saturday, August 3, and 9.30am to 4pm on Sunday, August 4.
