Aus7 Model Train expo

Went and checked out the Aus7 '0 Gauge' model train expo at the Casula Powerhouse today. A friend of mine CAD designs, makes, and sells trains and accessories, and had a stall there.

I have absolutely no experience with trains and had never really even seen a good display until today, but WOW! The attention to detail some of these guys put into their diorama's is absolutely unbelievable! From hand-painted rust patterns on the roof of the buildings, to simulated mud of the guards of the cars, to 1:48 scale millimeter-long tools hanging in the scale workshop, absolutely every detail was thought of and scaled down for ultra-realism... Extremely impressive!!!

I wish I had the patience and attention to detail to do something simillar... Hehe

I'll try to add pics, but can only add one pic per post from my iPhone, so excuse my several replies..
