    Hi folks,
    registrations are now open for the next Australian Narrow Gauge Convention to be held at Erina NSW next Easter. This promises to be a great long weekend of narrow-mindedness as usual. Come along for great clinics, traders, modelling competitions, layouts and more. The Venue is a great one, easy to reach from Gosford by public transport. See you there!

    Hello folks,
    long time no see! Over the Easter Weekend the 14th Australian Narrow Gauge Convention was held at Central Coast Grammar School, Erina Heights NSW. The venue was terrific, the weather fantastic, and the clinics very interesting and diverse. The standard of modelling in competitions, and the visiting layouts represented a range of scale/gauge combinations including Gn15, On30, On18, OO9 and more. To finish things off a large number of conventioneers visited the Lake Macquarie Light Railway (note, a private railway at Toronto, not open to the general public) and saw Jack, a lovely restored Burrenjuck Dam Krauss of 1908, a newly restored original Malcolm Moore loco and more. A small number of model photographs (and quite a few more of the Lake Macquarie locos in 1 to 1) can be found at https://www.flickr.com/photos/66383491@N06/
    cheers Geoff Potter
