Train Fantasy

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ At Tyabb Grainstore Antiques is a mini railway.
The rail circuits the entire store at ceiling level.
It was first installed about 12 years ago and has 5 engines with multiple carriages.
Along the track are mini icons.
(The layout is so difficult to photograph effectively.)
Currently, this curiosity is for sale.
Unfortunately, it is not operating now.
But seeing the aura of how it used to be is quite mystical.

P.S. I asked the owner's permission to take these photos.
