The Loxton Show has many different attractions. Here are a few of them.
South Australian N Gauge Society.
SANGS is a model railroading club that builds and displays model railroad layouts at various model train shows across the year. Our organisation started in 1983 and has gone from strength to strength since. We have built many layouts over the years and the public love seeing our layouts.
SANGS’ objective is to promote the N Scale model railroading hobby to the public.
