I will be in Melbourne from the 30th of May to 6th of June. Will there be any model train exhibitions in Melbourne during that period? I will have to rely on public transport.

Also, are there any good shops for train and train modelling books in Melbourne?

There's Hearn's Hobbies in Flinders Street, which if I remember correctly is in the basement of the Railway Station building.

There's no Marklin, but they do have Roco, Fleischmann and Faller.

There's another MRR shop, which I think it is (was - it's 10 years since I was last in Melbourne) in Swanston Street. The shop is upstairs, and is not far from the corner of Swanston and Flinders Streets - near Hungry Jacks.

There was a good technical book store in Elizabeth Street, they may have train related books - but I wasn't looking for those when I was there, I was after Motor Racing books!

There was a third hobby shop at which I was tempted to buy a Marklin loco from when I was there in 1999 for the Grand Prix. Sadly they no longer sold Marklin when I went back in 2005. I can't remember if it was in Bourke or Lonsdale Streets, but I remember it being close to Myers.
