Woodville Reed Organ Museum

Around 100 of our over 150 old pedal/reed organs are on display and can be played to your heart's content, or just look and learn, or listen and sing, etc. We live in the building so are usually at home to show you around, but if you want to be sure, ring or e-mail ahead of time for an appointment. Will be a never-to-be-forgotten experience.

Middleton Model Railway

Reviewed By Inspiration827670

We saw the yellow road sign on SH2 so decided to call in. The entry is awesome with a path through a long tree covered walkway. We were greeted by a very friendly man who gave a short talk about the railway layouts and shop. This is huge so allow plenty of time. It is also the only railway layout that we have seen where one can operate some of the equipment. There are several scales on display from tiny to O Scale. The shop us well stocked and and most interesting. We really enjoyed our visit.

What an incredible collection! We stopped in on our way through Dannevirke and were so glad we did. Dave was very knowledgeable and happy to share his insights on our favourite cars as we went along. The kids absolutely loved all the cool cars - my son thought it was an excellent massive collection of sports, classic and modern cars, and even grabbed a souvenir to remember his time here. Thank you Dave for opening up your Den for us to enjoy!
