Sunday we went across to the Bracken Ridge Lions Club (http://brackenridge.qld.lions.org.au/news) which sponsors a monthly 5" gauge minature train day across an outside track at McPherson Park. I haven't been since Lachlan was about two so it was Matthew's turn to be introduced to them. It is always popular. Price is very reasonable $2 a ride or 10 for $10. The latter can be used within twelve months so very good value. You might be lucky to get two laps of the circuit but if the queue is 50 or so people only one lap is the go. Yesterday was such a day with the brilliant weather we had. However there are a lot of trains so the queue gets through very quickly.
Here are some videos that I took from my spycam. Very good resolution I reckon!
Here are some close ups of one of the "iron horses" that pulled us around.
Apart from that no modelling as the weekend was devoted to other things like gardening and cleaning out the garage. Now that the Tour de France is over for another year my evenings might get back to some modelling opportunities.
BTW "You little beauty Cadel. You finally got there!"
