Landscapes depicting railways across the world will station in Palmerston North for the city’s model train show. The Rail X show is full steam ahead to pull into Central Energy Trust Arena next weekend after last year’s Covid-19 setback forced locomotive lovers to change tracks. Run by local train enthusiasts from the Manawatū Model Railway and Manawatū European Model Railway clubs and Scale Rails, the displays are sure to please thousands of coach admirers. There will be about 18 model railway layouts, including one from Tauranga and others from around the lower North Island. Trade stands will also be at the event where people looking to kick-start their locomotive hobby or add to their collection can buy train sets and other model railway equipment.
