Nelson Model Engineer International Steam Convention

Recently I went unto the Nelson Model Engineer International Steam Convention(http://www.nelsonmodellers.org.nz/convention.php). With a large amount of engines and traction engines it was truly exciting for someone interested. Little can be said of my sister's excitement as she was told where she was going. Oh well.I saw a lot of engines that I recognized from the Australian Model Engineer Magazine; small world (well small pacific islands if you can say that about Australia. I know you can about New Zealand). I met a member of the Unofficial Mamod Forum totally by chance who gave me some very useful tips for my traction engine. I also met a 13 year old boy who was making a gauge 1, single cylinder, single acting, oscillating steam locomotive. Very inspiring.
I took far to many photos but here's some of them.
