Today marked the grand unveiling of our miniature replica of Clayton West Station, created by a team of our wonderful volunteers!

This has been a long-term project that has taken countless dedicated hours. The attention to detail is just extraordinary, and the intricate features of each tiny miniature within the piece is simply incredible.

Here are two of the volunteers involved in the project, Stuart and Michael, who helped to create this remarkable piece. The model will be available to view, at its new home in the entrance cabin walkway.

See what you can spot during your next visit to see us!
