Our Town 2004 Photo Gallery

Our Town Hobby Expo was once again a major event in the hobby calendar for NSW. Mostly consisting of model train layouts, but in recent years has incorporated some other aspects of hobbies many of us enjoy. TF72 has been and active participant for the past 5 years and once again provided inspiration to many visitors to the expo, showing that model trains aren't the only way to spend some quality time in the workshop.
