Prototype Modellers' Forum

1 November 2009

 

After another successful and popular event in 2008, the Victorian Model Railway Society is holding the Prototype Modellers Meet again this year but under a different name.

Because of a clash with the Sunbury Exhibition we have changed the weekend for the event.

Remember to put aside the first Sunday in November 2009!
