Families can get on board and experience the hobby and nostalgia of model railways at open days this weekend.
The Rotorua Model Railway Club is holding open days for the public tomorrow and Sunday.
The open days run from 10am to 4pm at the Pererika St Clubrooms.
A number of
layouts will be on show, including large American railways, Thomas the Tank Engine and friends, vintage British Hornby Dublo from the 1950s, and logging and bush railways.
Rotorua Model Railway Club life member Barry Jenkins says he enjoys playing with model trains so it is nice to see other people come and enjoy the models, especially children.
