ModelRail 2017

Hey hey, another day, another ModelRail has come and gone and this year saw a surge in modeling, particularly in S scale. The S scale group in the AMRA WA branch is one of the largest groups in the club and showed today with numerous stands, modeling displays and two S scale layouts running. Below are some photos I captured during the day:
