Model Railway Displays.
Welcome to All Aboard Braemar Model Railway displays and the home of Fleischmann and LGB in Australia.

This model railway business has been functioning for over 25 years and moved to the Southern Highlands in 1987.

Our displays were first opened to the general public in 1996.

We chose to use Fleischmann and LGB equipment as they are the world leaders in Model railway manufacturing and pay particular attention to reliability, durability and quality. These models represent good value for money.

On the indoor layouts (two HO and one N Gauge), all the track, signals, turntable, locomotives and rolling stock are made by Fleischmann. Since opening in 1996 these layouts have operated for over 7,500 hours (over 1,000 hrs/year).

The outdoor/indoor Garden Railway has been operating since January 1999. All models, track, locomotives and rolling stock are manufactured by Ernst Paul Lehmann - LGB ("Lehmann Gross Bahn") - and are designed to operate indoors or outdoors, no matter what the weather. All plastic parts are UV protected and the Brass rail is the highest quality possible.

We know that you will enjoy the displays. So when you visit make sure you bring some friends with you.

Full colour catalogues for each manufacturer's range of products are available at the service counter.

Model trains, tracks, layouts and accessories on sale.

All the equipment that you will see - from the trains, tracks, buildings and scenery, and any of the layouts, are available through our shop.

We also stock HAG, Magic Train, ToyTrain, RIGI, Gnomy, Ühlenbrock, Vollmer, Brawa, NOCH, Seuthe and Sommerfeldt and other railway models and accessories in all gauges.

Our trained staff have a wealth of knowledge from their own experience over many years in the hobby, and are happy to help with advice.

For more information on the latest model railways and collector's items see our website: www.allaboard.com.au.
