Clinics

A broad range of subjects is being prepared to be presented during the Convention schedule. A mixture of clinics, workshops and prototype topics will be hosted throughout the weekend.

Work is underway to assemble another great selection of clinic presentations for the 16th Australian Narrow Gauge Convention. We are always grateful for the time and effort our team of presenters provide at these events. Topics to be covered include a range of modelling techniques, layout presentations and prototype discussions. As per previous events, we will again be producing another comprehensive clinic handbook, compiling all the clinic notes from the weekend. The handbook is a valuable resource for modellers, and a great record of the convention. A full clinic timetable will be available on this page to download prior to the event.  

We are proud to have an association with the Alexandra Timber Tramway and Museum for the 16th Australian Narrow Gauge Convention. The dedicated members of this railway preservation group have assembled and restored a fantastic collection of industrial tramway and logging equipment, with an emphasis on the Rubicon Ranges. The display of logging winches, locomotives and rolling stock is an excellent resource for modellers who share an interest in this industrial history. Museum members will be joining us for the convention to provide a presentation on the history of the group and preservation work that the museum has undertake over the years. 

We also definitely encourage those attending the convention to allow some time to visit the Alexandra Timber Tramway and Museum. Join us for Easter Monday Trains & Snags (April 6th) to explore the collection, ride a few trains and enjoy a sausage sizzle lunch (see Registration page for more details).
