N'Awlins Down Under

The site's name springs from a New Orleanian transplanted to Australia . . .


Narrow Gauge Railway Conventions

The inaugural Narrow Gauge Convention was held in Melbourne over Easter 1996. Almost 100 people enjoyed a relaxing weekend of stories and instruction in all things narrow gauge, and we started a fashion that has seen conventions continue to the point where the seventh is to be held in Albury over Eastrer 2005.

The HOn30 Mailcar - the first stop for Narrow Gauge Model Railways

Hundreds of modellers and fans of narrow gauge from around the world subscribe to this mailing list, so catch the HOn30 Mailcar and see what we all talk about . . . when clearly we should all be building models instead of surfing!

The Zelman Memorial Symphony Orchestra

So this is where Gary's Tuesday nights go? He's a clarinetist with Melbourne's oldest amateur symphony orchestra, the Zelman Symphony.

The Croydon Narrow Gauge Group (CNGG)

And this is where my Thursday nights - and a few weekends - go too! A group for more than twenty years, the CNGG builds and exhibits model railways in numerous scales and gauges . . . so long as the latter is narrow!
