Film clip: miniature railway
Still shots and description
'Miniature Railway'. The camera pans along a dark blue locomotive engine. But this isn't a full-size engine, it is part of the Exhibition's miniature railway. The film cuts to show a small aircraft landing on the other side of a fence - showing just how close the exhibition is to the Wellington Airport. Next we watch the train snaking around the curving corners towards us. A small white dog scampers beside it, trying to out-run the train. The carriages are open so that the passengers have a good view of the sights. We watch the train from another angle, and see that the carriages have white stripes on them. Spectators huddle around the track, watching as the train goes by. The clip closes with a scene of a crowd, who are perhaps waiting for their turn on the miniature train.
