AMRA WA Annual Exhibition 2018 - Day 1

Hey hey, it's that time of year again: the annual AMRA WA exhibition. So here are some snaps from day 1 of the show. This year we were treated to not one but two great S scale layouts; Greg Aitken's Bencubbin layout and Kelvin Davis' Karragullen layout. Both layouts looked splendid and ran well throughout the day with only human error reported. The modeller's desks were well manned as well as the kit manufacturers and turn out was encouraging. If you didn't get down to see the show today, I highly recommend you make time to come down either tomorrow (03 Jun 18) or Monday (04 Jun 18).
