Modelling the Railways of Queensland Convention
Saturday, 28 August 2010, Evans Deakin Building, Mt Gravatt Showgrounds: This is the new venue for model railway conventions in Brisbane, with ample parking, handy to public transport and a short distance from the previous venue.
The convention will follow the tried and true format (see below) with some additions made possible by the new venue. Participants at previous conventions will appreciate the larger venue and increased facilities.

The Convention is held every two years in Brisbane and brings together modellers and railfans with an interest in Queensland's railways and tramlines. Attendees come from every state in Australia and occasionally from overseas.
Essentially a one-day (Saturday) convention, events include clinics and other presentations, modelling demonstrations, layouts, trade stands and a group dinner. A visit to a local rail heritage attraction and/or local model railways typically occurs on the Sunday.
This web site was created as an extension of the convention to promote both the Convention itself and the modelling of Queensland's many and varied railways.
