After years of lockdowns and floods, the GV Rail Club was glad to bring back its two-day model railway exhibition.

The event was held on Saturday, October 21, and Sunday, October 22, at the McIntosh Centre at the Shepparton Showgrounds.

The weekend featured exhibitions from 21 groups from all over Victoria, featuring rail paraphernalia and retail outlets selling train sets and model railway goods.

News photographer Rechelle Zammit went along to the exhibition to check out the trains.

Here’s what she captured.
