Boarding in Braybrook

The Sunshine Model Railway Club is inviting train buffs to head to its 25th annual model railway exhibition in Braybrook.

The exhibition is making its coveted return after the tracks were forced to a halt due to the pandemic.

Club president Joe Saliba said the exhibition has been missing from the scene for three years and he is hoping to see a big turn-out for the latest show.

“We are finally back and it feels great. We’ve missed seeing all the people that we normally see at every exhibition,” he said.

Mr Saliba said there will be model trains on show for “anyone and everyone” to come down and have a look.

“Everyone has their own version of arts and crafts, and this is ours. The exhibition is open to anyone who wants to see something different. They can come down and see how we do arts and crafts.

“Over the many years I’ve spent as a member of the club, my favourite part has been meeting new friends and sharing with the community.”

The model train exhibition will be held at Braybrook College Sports Stadium, Burke Street, Braybrook, from 9.30am-5pm on August 5, and 9.30am-4pm on August 6. Tickets are $10, children can enter for free.
