Toowoomba Model Train Exhibition

(List of Exhibits nominated and accepted for the event - updated 11th May 2008)
This little fella indicates that this is the first time this exhibit will have been seen in Toowoomba.
This little guy means its the first time anywhere that we know of!
(NOTE: The exhibits are listed in random order and do not indicate their position at the exhibition)
Exhibitors send in descriptions of their displays along with their nomination forms, as any photo's come to hand of the intending displays, we will include them here for you to see, there is nothing like seeing all these outstanding exhibits first hand, but the descriptions and previews included here should really whet your appetite.
This exhibition is not just about exhibits though, it is also about you - the visitor that comes along to view the handicraft of some of the most talented modellers around and this includes static displays by Plastic Kit modellers, Radio Control Cars and Planes and of course the obligatory MODEL TRAINS.
As usual, we have pulled out all stops to make the event as entertaining and value packed as we possibly can. Call back frequently to see the updates on who's attending.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO EXHIBIT AT THE 2008 TOOWOOMBA MODEL TRAIN EXHIBITION PLEASE CONTACT US ON THE CONTACT PAGE OR PHONE (07) 4638 1408 AND WE CAN FORWARD THE NECESSARY FORMS TO YOU.
