A blog that deals with the Adelaide to Melbourne main railway line, both in prototype and to modelling Horsham. This great photo was taken by my son Craig. Tuesday, 12 May 2015. Ever wondered where these wagons go. In Adelaide, they transfer over, probably one of the last industrial branches left in the city, into Blue Scope Steel at Wingfield. Coil steel containers been unloaded at Blue Scope Steel. Saturday, 9 May 2015.

Something to look forward to. Folks, time for an announcement of sorts.

So, I did something I rarely do - volunteered for something.

A collection of photographs and stories from five decades of train chasing. Wednesday, March 7, 2018. I have known a few. I am just returned from three weeks in the southern USA, largely not. Apart from colliery and quarry sidings.

Sunday, January 18, 2015. Laid down some more of the plywood base for the trackwork this afternoon. A test run with my articulated loco and 2 wagons it seems to handle not only the tight curves but the steep grades without even the hint of a hiccup. I ran out of daylight and the mozzies came around for a visit before I managed to complete the upper track loop. Hopefully I can get that done early tomorrow morning so I can give it a better test run. Thursday, January 8, 2015.
