Today I met up with Alex, Cathy and Graham at the grounds of The Sydney Society of Model Engineers at Luddenham. Its somewhere I've wanted to visit for a number of years but never had the excuse before. The site is quite open and as the temperature was 37C. we could only manage a couple of hours.
The grounds are quite extensive and house cars, boats, planes and trains in all their various modes and scales.
Steam trains in the marshaling area.
Some very impressive examples of engineering, and beards.
There is over 3 Kms of well laid out track in a very nice enviroment.
Alex was allowed to take the controls of this little three speed diesel loco. His hat is off just for the photographs.
Alex in control.
Other models in the park were all moving too quickly to get any good pics. The tethered race cars were reaching speeds of nearly 200kms/hr.
It was a good day but I would like to go again in a cooler time of year.
