Extensions To Model Railway

Nelson could well have the best railway in New Zealand - and we're not talking politics or notional railway, either. The claim was made by Mr Harold Wilson, president of the Nelson Society of Modellers at the opening of the new extended model railway track at Tahunanui Beach. Club members have worked hard to make the extensions and they now have a 986 ft track.
