An (almost) empty shed

Finally after many months delay the train shed extensions are complete! I have shifted the Gigenbung modules into position and it is nice to wander through the shed imagining how the completed railway is going to look.

Trackplan

This is my proposed layout plan. The room is 8.3 metres by 8.5 metres. The minimum radius is 1000mm. It is a layout designed for operation but with the ability to have a continuous run. I tried to achieve all of that without a duck under but couldn't do it. The duck under at Coolamine will be 1500mm high so shouldn't be an issue. I would be happy to receive any comments and constructive criticism

Welcome

Welcome to my blog about building my model railway. On this blog I hope to show you the progress as I build a model of a fictitious railway set in the Australian alps. I originally started building this layout in On30 but decided to make the change to On3. The reason for this was that I decided to pickup my favourite narrow gauge railway - the Rio Grande from Colorado and put it into Snowy mountains in southern NSW.

I have been relaying track on the sceniced portion of the old On30 layout and here is a photo of the progress
