The captivating world of model railways will come alive at Ipswich this weekend at the Queensland Model Railway Show.
The Workshops Rail Museum, North Ipswich will host the event on October 18-19 with railway modellers, demonstrators, and traders set to showcase their passion to thousands of visitors.
Museum director Andrew Moritz said the event would offer a fun filled family day out.
“We love putting on this show and seeing the appreciation in the eyes of adults and children, even if you’re ‘not into trains’, it’s hard not to stop and stare at the layouts,” Mr Moritz said.
“You can see that many hours have been spent putting together layouts and models, and modellers are happy to discuss their exhibit and much loved passion.”
Visitors will have the opportunity to admire miniature trains from different Australian states, America and the United Kingdom.
There will also be plenty of offer for kids with a construction station, kids craft and indoor Nippers Railway playground.
Mr Moritz said visitors can also enjoy a mini steam train ride thanks to Grandchester Live Model Steam.
Additional charges apply and visitors must wear closed in shoes.
Visitors are encouraged to bring a picnic lunch and allow at least three hours for all activities.
Museum entry price includes all exhibits- family ticket $59, adult $20, concession $17, child $11.50 and children under three years free.
The Workshops Rail Museum is at North St, North Ipswich.
