I arrived at about 1:45pm and left at 5:00pm having only made about one complete trip around all the exhibits due to stopping and chatting.
I also managed to take a few photos, something I usually give a miss as exhibitions are not the best for trying to take photos ( for some reason the trains keep moving). I also hate the use of perspex as it makes photographing very difficult. I had some nice shots of Time and Patience and Central that I can't use because of the reflections of flourescents lights over the models beyond the perspex, grrrr!!!!
Here are a few shots that I like.
Ross Balderson's Central Station 1958.
Museum Station
I damaged the bank account with some book purchases but had to leave a lot of other interesting stuff behind.
All in all, a good exhibition.

Hi Ray,
Really like Museum, I always wanted to do one of the stations in Sydney's underground. I can see the bits missing on the layout but gee your photo really captures the detail that is there, eg: the pipe work including all the collars etc. Also that one photo captures the feel of the area. Well done, I hope to see this exhibit one day, I really think its on the money. Tell me its as good in the flesh as this photo?

Yes, it is but it is of course just a 'shadow box' layout, the trains come out of the tunnel into the station then leave the same way.
It is a lovely bit of work, I saw it a number of years ago (10?) and liked it then as I used to catch a train to and from it for a while many, many years (decades) ago.
