Over Easter I visited some model railways.
The modellers who built these scenes are regarded as the best scenery modellers in the world.

Here are some photos of three of the model railways. one is set in rural Vic, another in the Lousiana swamps and a third in Britsh Colombia.

Auto focus on a point and shoot makes photography of this sort of thing super hit and miss!

Cheers,
Mark

nice... love to know where some of those are in Melbourne!

if you hadn't of said model's a lot of people would think it was taken with a tilt-shift lens!

Hi Matbor,
There is only one model railway on permanent display in Melbourne (that i'm aware of), at Lakeside station of the Puffing Billy tourist railway. It is a good display but not the same quality as those I photographed.
Otherwise, there are model railway exhibitions fairly regularly throughout the country.
This link:
Australian Model Railway Magazine
then 'diary' has all the exhibitions in Aus, and is kept pretty up to date.
Cheers,
Mark
