So I'm talking to blokes here, but maybe not necessarily. Maybe girls had them too, or maybe their brothers did train sets, who had a train set when they were little. I did Figure of eight initially and it kind of grew into a proper train set, but I don't have it anymore. Sadly space saw the end of it, or the need for space. But I'm interested to see. As has been the case for many years, the Adelaide Model Railway Show is on over the long weekend as it generally is in June and has been, as I say, for well decades now. The organizer, Matt la Vista from the Adelaide Model Railway Show, Matt, good evening.

Good evening, Matthew, thank you so much for having me on.

Good evening, Matthew, thank you so much for having me on.

Thank you for your time. So tell me about the Adelaide Model Railway Show. Obviously a lot of people's hard work gets displayed for three days.

Yes, indeed, another year comes very fast, I'll see you that much. We've got a whole little dedicated people from not just hearing South Australia or so all over the country who come in for our show. It's the biggest and the best here in South Australia of course, and we've been going since the mid eighties, well forty years originally, yes, almost forty years. Yes, we used to be a buy into a show, so every two years. So we haven't quite hit the fortieth anniversary dust yet. I think it's the thirty third or thirty fourth EXHIBITIONI rat to at the moment, not far off there now.

So how do people get their train sets there? Because some areqite I've been before, and some are quite big.

Yes, we have basically a full compliment of all sorts of from the very smallest beginner setup to or fit on a coffee table to some of the biggest ones that you'll need a proper, good sized shed for all shapes and sizes. It can be as simple as someone might like a little thing that goes just back and forward on their tabletop, and other people want to create Bridgewater as it was exactly in nineteen eighty three, down to the last fence post.

Wow.

Wow.

So yeah, you're on the whole gamut of that that feel of interest.

So yeah, you're on the whole gamut of that that feel of interest.

It's unrealism't and you're right. Some do that.

It's unrealism't and you're right. Some do that.

They recreate suburban railway stations and the detail when they do is incredible. Including surrounding streets you know, in the behind the railway station whatever. And yes, absolutely if you drive down there where the older houses are, you know, thinking of one I saw a few years back of West Croydon. The West Croydon railway station and the side streets around it were identical to what's there today. It's unreal.

Yeah. West Cordon is one of the better examples of sort of what the realism in our hobby can produce. And it's almost as though a living history in its own right, because it's like nothing else a diorama can give you so much, but when you add the movement of the trains, it really is a slice of life. And yeah that West Croydon is backed by popular demand again this year, so if you wanted to see West Corners it was in that area, you certainly can get doing it a.

The motivation behind this, I suppose a lot of people have started as kids and kept it going.

The motivation behind this, I suppose a lot of people have started as kids and kept it going.

Absolutely. Of course there's lucky as like you say, in the old days, you've got your hornby doub low train sets and nightge hornby train sets. That's given way to someone perhaps who's taken up again as an adult or has kept going all the way through, or perhaps they've retired. Instead of playing golf, they get themselves back into the child of hobby.

Incredible something for all ages, no doubt, you say, simple ones right all the way through. So kids particular I suppose would love seeing this.

Absolutely yes. And then we've got a lot of layouts there that are designed to be more readily enjoyed by children, because that's not necessarily of interest to you. You know how many fence posted the Bridgewater have, for example, they want to see a train running. But yeah, that's the real thing is you've got this year we have a wonderful large lego train set up from Victoria, which we've been looking forward to, so that's always popular with kids and those of the young at heart. And we've got the Magna Rail people who are a first time exhibitor. They are basically very tiny, working little bicycles and vehicles in the very small scale are one marvelous to watch, so we're very excited to have them. And of course we've got the face paint of their free so along line of kids there every day.

Yeah, I'm sure that's that's absolutely right. Hey, I made the comment at the start this. This is something primarily for boys. Do you have any ladies exhibit?

Yeah, I'm sure that's that's absolutely right. Hey, I made the comment at the start this. This is something primarily for boys. Do you have any ladies exhibit?

We do have a few sometimes as part of a husband and wife jure are the ones whereas the wife who has dragged the husband along really with her being yes, indeed yes, which is we would There has been an increased share in the female sort of side of the hobby, especially since COVID have come along. It has been something that a few people have taken up as sort of a hobby when they're just stuck in isolation, and they kept with it, and we hope to obviously increase that when it is it is a hobby that can be enjoyed, but everybody. It's not an old man's hobby. It's not a very young child's hobby. It's everybody's. And you can be as as skilled or as unskilled as you wish, as you always find something to enjoy in that.

Yeah, I'm sure that's absolutely right too.

Hey, the scales you mentioned Hornby, as I recall, it was eight show back in the day, but I think it's moved to double ow now, Hasn't it?

Hey, the scales you mentioned Hornby, as I recall, it was eight show back in the day, but I think it's moved to double ow now, Hasn't it?

A long story short? H O and Doublow share the same track. They're very similar scales for the intents and purposes. You've got smaller ones from that called En Scale, which about the smallest trains I think we have at this particular show. But there is the smallest one on the market at the moment, this one called T Scale, which we unfortunately don't have this here. It's so small it is literally you can balance it on your little fingernail and go anywhere.

Yes, it's the point of that.

Yes, it's the point of that.

Not for someone with bad eyes or you that much or clumsy. Yes, no, there is some amazing work done on that in that scale with gentlemen from Villi Victoria who makes his own track for a soldiering iron and very very small pieces of metal.

I bet goodness.

And of course we go all the way up. This time we have two special guests, which is the people from the miniature railways at Penfield and at more for Vail for both exhibiting for the first time, they're going to have some of their bigger trains on display, so which also counts technically as a model train.

Okay, these are the right on ones, the ones you sit on and they take you around the park.

Yes, okay, so they'll be there too, that's correct.

Yes, okay, so they'll be there too, that's correct.

You not Unfortunately they won't be taking anyone for a ride, but you certainly see the trains in the flesh and then you might decide to go see them in action on there from respective railways.

You not Unfortunately they won't be taking anyone for a ride, but you certainly see the trains in the flesh and then you might decide to go see them in action on there from respective railways.

Yeah right, there's a lot of side action I noticed when I was there too. Apart from all the train sets, there's memorabilia and there's people with yard layouts. So if you lived in a country town where the station is non existent, you can have a look at maps if you'll, I suppose it's the best word of the track layout, how it used to be and all of that. So everything to do with railways on display.

Absolutely yes, and you will definitely learn something and something for everybody, not just people who would take the hobby. Seriously, we have a lot of younger traders at the moment who have just sort of been exhibiting the last couple of years making their own free D printed designs, primarily of South Australian outline prototype models. So that's it's really exciting to see these younger people coming through supporting the hobby and it's nice to see sort of like you know, great variation and you know, we hope to sort of encourage more people to take up this particular aspect of the hobby because freely of printing is a huge part of this this hobby now it is here to stay, and it's not just a hobby for people, you know, chopping up brass with scissors and soldering it anymore. It's you know, you can oh, I like this trainer might print a a shell that to put on something and can go on my own track.

Okay, all right, so people will be able to see you Red Hen's Bluebirds. Actual miniatures of trains that rail in essay, absolutely.

Okay, all right, so people will be able to see you Red Hen's Bluebirds. Actual miniatures of trains that rail in essay, absolutely.

All sorts steam engines, these or the railcars, all sorts of it. Not just here of course in South Australia, but in Victoria are the UK of American all sorts of scales and sizes.

Yes, and you give away the proceeds, don't you. It goes to a good cause. People that pay to go in.

Yes, and you give away the proceeds, don't you. It goes to a good cause. People that pay to go in.

Dirrect all of us and so interception. All of our exhibitions have always been in support of a children's charity. We started years ago in Nidive Ronald McDonald house, and then about twenty years ago it became Make a Wish and for the past few years it's been support of Surf Life saving essay specifically the North Haven Division in support of their children's swim programs and whatnot. And we're always very happy to support them and we're glad to have them there. So by all means, come along down and put a few dollars in the bin for them while you're there.

This is one event. But are people members of are they clubs? I was going to say members of clubs? But are they clubs in essay of railway and things?

This is one event. But are people members of are they clubs? I was going to say members of clubs? But are they clubs in essay of railway and things?

Yes, there is about I think about a dozen clubs all up here at Slay alone. There's many clubs. Some are only reads. This more ones who maybe they's focus on specific subject. You've got people like the South Australian Railway Models Association is the largest in the States, about one hundred and hundred and twenty members thereabouts. They sort of concentrate on HO scale get N scale, your two main ones, but people have all sorts of stuff right down to the really small ones of the really largest stuff as well. And then you've got people like the BRAMA, the British Raway Models Australia and they are primarily interested in Britain prototype train and they meet. They don't have a club rooms that They are very numerous across Australia, but they meet in different locations and they have a wide edge of interest and they also have a really really nice setupcoming. One of the best, I think it's going to be this year called great More Street, which you want to look out for if you're interested in that sort of thing.

There's a fetish out there for everyone, isn't there.

There's a fetish out there for everyone, isn't there.

Basically yeah, to pick your poison and you enjoy it. Me, I'm very catholic and might taste the way go across the whole range of can't block me out of anything.

So have you got something on display there that people can look out for?

So have you got something on display there that people can look out for?

Absolutely. We have one first time exit we've never had before, which is will be of interest is the people from the Mulang Light Railway Center. The little town of Malang has a rather active railway museum there who focus on what they call light railways and they're two foot gage and below and they're going to have the very first time we have a full sized piece of railway equipment on show, which is what they call a velocity, which is if you've ever seen the old movies of a guy pumping a car along the track, Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, up and down thing. Yeah right, that's right.

Yeah, yeah, up and down thing. Yeah right, that's right.

I won't say anymore, but take it close to look and stop by because there may be something of interesting there for you.

I won't say anymore, but take it close to look and stop by because there may be something of interesting there for you.

Wow. All right, so that's going to be down there.

Wow. All right, so that's going to be down there.

You know you mentioned Malang and I was down there over summer and I reckon it has.

You know you mentioned Malang and I was down there over summer and I reckon it has.

Been ten years since I was last there.

Been ten years since I was last there.

And the railway, I mean, you can't miss it, right, it's a two street town Malang or three, and so you can't miss the railway station. But I remember ten years ago that's what it was, just the remains of a railway station. Now there's a whole railway thing. There's tracks everywhere and all sorts of really carriages.

I really brought it.

I really brought it.

Back, Yeah, absolutely. And it's not just that that what was there before they sort of brought back is this was new stuff that people just aren't familiar with. Is that there were more than seven hundred light railways at one point in South Australia, all over the place over time, and there's about twelve of them left now. If you're not sure what a light railway is, if you think it's down at Semaphore, you've got a little train that runs between Semaphore and poor Glanville and that's where it forced through a certain size and they're an enginey bunch and they're real credits to the whole of railroad in general. But yeah, we're really clear to have them there this year to show up sort of what they've been doing at Malang and promote their side of the enthusiasm.

Do you think we're ever going to get railway back in regional essay now that you mentioned seven hundred what light rail you say, but you know, just even all the tracks that went regionally and people keep saying should never have closed, and I agree, of course, But yeah, the fact that you know, you would know very well, forget about that the model trains, how much it would cost to lay track and bridges and everything else.

They're around Barker around the lack of railways. I'm sure that there's other places surround Virginia and all these are coming up. It's a matter of obviously political will. I mean, look, the amount that they're spending on South Road alone with this tunnel is I mean, you can really spend in the amount of money you want as long as it's there in the bill to do it.

Yeah, Well, this is true. It's only money ultimately, basically.

Yeah, Well, this is true. It's only money ultimately, basically.

Yeah. I mean, look, it would be the sort of thing that you might see Railway Stool didn't over the next ten years ago them back to Mount Barker, Devik and rose Worthy. It's just a sort of hopefully that someone grabs the bull by the horns in that department. I think we will see a little bit more expansion, but how much it remains to be seen?

Meantime, the Adelaide Model Railway Show on a Greyhound park there at Regency Park. And what's the cost of family to get in?

Meantime, the Adelaide Model Railway Show on a Greyhound park there at Regency Park. And what's the cost of family to get in?

A cost of family? Good question. So it's twenty four dollars an adult and the family ticket is a member, says me. Right, it's the same as last year. We haven't put our prices up this year, but I can't remember. It's off my head.

Indeed, yes, if you also b to the tickets online, there's slightly changed for we're twenty twenty three prices if you put them online and then yes, the tickets up to the casual cards. You just go ahead and come and see that. All the exhibits for free parking, and there's also some food on site as well upstairs. The good people of Greyhound Park on a nice work there, and if not, you can go for a pub mill next door at Chases Restaurant.

Well of you, what did you say? Thirty three years this has been running? I reckon, I've been I reckon. I've been to about five of them, the last one being two or three years ago.

Well of you, what did you say? Thirty three years this has been running? I reckon, I've been I reckon. I've been to about five of them, the last one being two or three years ago.

And there's always a good crowd there.

And there's always a good crowd there.

I mean it's it's busy moving around through the different tables and really good to see just some the work that goes into these exhibitions, just tremendous hours of work.

I mean it's it's busy moving around through the different tables and really good to see just some the work that goes into these exhibitions, just tremendous hours of work.

Yes, like I said, some of them are relatively sort of straightforward ones, but even the most straightforward startup ones will still take a bit of time and effort to do it in and everybody who exhibits takes the time to come down. There is a lot of work to do, so yeah, and all the prices they get.

Hey, we're at Wednesday. Are people starting to set up now?

Hey, we're at Wednesday. Are people starting to set up now?

I feel've been starting for I think the last couple of weeks really, But on Fridays when all the everyone descends upon Graham Bark there for big setups and then we have to be a one Monday afternoon after so to speak. So yes, no, but what people have been hopefully doing last couple of weeks, it's not month or so's taking their setups out of their storage, just in the mount making sure all their trains are working and getting ready to put on a good show.

Hope it goes well over the weekend three days, isn't it Saturday through to Monday?

Hope it goes well over the weekend three days, isn't it Saturday through to Monday?

Yes, that's correct, Yes, beautiful, that's try a model railway showed all day you to see the tickets and the opening time to good trip.

Yes, that's correct, Yes, beautiful, that's try a model railway showed all day you to see the tickets and the opening time to good trip.

Fantastic there. Hope everyone enjoys it. Thanks for your time anytime.

Fantastic there. Hope everyone enjoys it. Thanks for your time anytime.

Thank you you too, Matt la Vista from the Adelaide Model Railway Show and at Greyhound Park as it is every year and has been there since I think he said, the last twenty five twenty six years or so, so it's good. If you've been, you'll know and look. You don't have to be interested in trains particularly, you'll be amazed at what is there and you look at them and the detail. It's incredible, as he said, some of them when they recreate a station like Bridgewater or whatever. The example is West Croydon. It is down to the last post on the railway station and whatever else. Incredible detail, but there it is. If you've been kids love it, kids grandkids take them along. They love it. So it's good being down there with the kids when they were younger. And as I said, we went a couple of years ago, guess to have a look for something to do on them. I think it was a Monday afternoon and quite enjoyed it in terms of having a look and seeing the work that goes into them. If you've been loved to hear it, maybe you had a train set as a kid, a hornbe there was a saying with hornsbe, wasn't it with an s? And it had a little saying. I can't think what it was, but if you remember it or had one love to hear from you eight double two to three double o double oh

Thank you you too, Matt la Vista from the Adelaide Model Railway Show and at Greyhound Park as it is every year and has been there since I think he said, the last twenty five twenty six years or so, so it's good. If you've been, you'll know and look. You don't have to be interested in trains particularly, you'll be amazed at what is there and you look at them and the detail. It's incredible, as he said, some of them when they recreate a station like Bridgewater or whatever. The example is West Croydon. It is down to the last post on the railway station and whatever else.
