treecave]do you go to many in the north island wfag

Hi, We usually make a special trip to the one in Taupo and have in the past been to Rotorua and Tauranga. Nothing worth going to in Auckland.

wfag - 2016-10-04 17:56:00

that's strange. I thought a show in Auckland would be far bigger than chch.

treecave - 2016-10-05 21:14:00

I found a few bargains at the Christchurch model train show this year - great crowd and layouts

smurf14 - 2016-10-07 22:24:00
