Took our client's out for a trip yesterday, to have a look around the Tokomaru Steam Museum (The guy who started it over 60 years ago passed away, and locals brought it to keep it running and stop developers junking it and demolishing the place).

As well as having multiple large steam engines and equpment, there is also an extensive model village/train set.

All these buildings were hand built/made, and, are all replicas of actual buildings in NZ (many feature interior lighting).

They are pretty acurate too, because I recognise a couple i've seen from up close and they ar spot on.
