    Not me this time Gary - bit too busy at work.

    I'm sure it'll be a great show, can't wait to see some photos.

    Abit behind the times here Gary.
    Is this the one in ACT this weekend or next month sometime?
    If it's next month, might be going work pending. Got to catch up with me mate Malcom down there.

    I obviously can't go since I'm 8000 miles and a hemisphere away. But I was in Australia this past March (love the place, BTW) and did visit Canberra. I also got to see some Pacific National trains running through the Blue Mountains.

    One Q - who manufactures Australian model trains? Is N more popular than HO there?

    Jase/Rowan - the convention is in Canberra 16-18 October - 11th National N Scale Convention, Canberra 2009 - with a meet and great and informal meal on Thursday night (15/10).

    MRL - there are a few frontline manufacturers that have established in the last few year, primarily in HO. Here's a couple of the N manufacturers;

    Aust-N Rail
    Frate-N

    The Australian HO crowd outnumber the N both in manufacturers and modellers.
