Lights, Sound and Action will guarantee to delight the young and young-at-heart at M & K Model Railways. You follow the travels of model trains past cities of replica German buildings, through to the ‘dom’ in Hamburg, a fairground wonderland of carnival rides, dodgem cars, revolving tea cups, ice skaters and much more.
Cable cars, waterfalls and windmills are but a few of the attractions to delight the visitor. Church bells, fire engines, sawmill in operation, a cuckoo bird calling, are just some of the sounds that add to the realism.
A truly unique experience full of surprises - visitors are encouraged to find the escaped mountain goats, the lady hanging out her washing, men surrounded by wolves, a vehicle accident complete with police and ambulance, a cow trying to get out of the paddock and even a cat on the roof. During Hervey Bay’s Christmas Lights celebration and through to January, spectacular lighting effects will enchant night visitors to this magical fairyland.
42 years ago, a seven year old boy decided to build a railway layout. Today that boy has gone on to become a qualified electrical/electronic engineer, whose passion for trains never left him. His expertise and creative talent has produced a delightful full working electric indoor railway taking 11 years to construct with the help and support of family and staff.
The 40-foot by 20-foot layout in an airconditioned building, features Bavarian snowy mountains, on top of which is the famous European Castle Neuschwanstein, built during King Ludwig’s reign. More than 4,000 hours have been spent constructing some 300 miniature buildings, while the 1,000 feet of track meandering around and through the cities are all powered by approximately 20 kilometres of electrical cables.
