These are just a sample of photos from the Christchurch Big Model Train Show

on 6th till 7th October 2001


NZR West CoastThis is typical of what one might expect to see whilst driving near a railway in the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand. The builder has gone to a great deal of trouble to duplicate the habitat.
 
 
 
 
 

Good keen menFrom the same scenerio, these two guys are obviously unaware of the approaching train..... Or are they; and do they really care????
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


Garden railway South yard                North yard                   bungy jump
 
 

These three shots are of the garden gauge railway. It took up a lot of the exhibition floor (naturally) with a controlled crossing for the public to get accross the tracks. Two way radios were used to communicate between the controllers at each end of the hall. It's good to see humour being used as can be seen from the photo on the right with the bungy jumper.
