more like the owners of the line would never have paid for such things, snow in Australia isn't an issue for 99.9% of our railways so you were hard pressed to find an enclosed cab even on mainline loco's to my knowledge. In winter it was assumed that the heat from the boiler would keep them...

well good to hear, hope you have a blast building it

windows on a logging locomotive? jeez you yanks are fancy with your tin pots - you would never find such things on an /a/ussie bush line

nice! what do you use to weather them?

Update: had a look at their online database but it dosen't appear to go before 1998 but I did find a 5' by 4' called the turtle creek southern which is based in the everglades is that the one your after? I'd rescan it into my computer but the quality isn't great to begin with can we post PDF's here?

sounding good toptrain, can't tell you how good it feels to have run a train around my layout for the first time ever! also I'd come see you and the others at East Rutherford, but I'm going to need some help paying for the plane ticket! sign1

Glory, glory track comes to the d&e! hi every body just updating with progress, by the time you see this hopfully the iron gangs would have laid more track, included in this is the 6th and final version of the plan which simplifies a lot of issues that the old one had and as such is going down...

hey bill you might want to send the boys in blue to warn that driver to stick to the right side of the road and watch out for the bridge piers in the top photo of the track train. He must be an Victorian on holiday :D

now looking at the picture in post 272 the inside track is the one on the left yes? becasue that looks to be a really shallow curve in my novice eyes.

well unis finished for the moment so I can get back to it, laid the first 2 meters or so of the road bed and this week, I'll get the parts i need for stage 1 of the project. made several improvements to the track plan which i'll stick up as soon as i start actually laying track!

See I was going to ask about the southern loco, because I although I know the sou painted a pacific in green for a passenger train ( I think its was called the cresent limited or simmilar) and wanted to know if it was common practise for them to pain their loco's

Post 264 fourth Image heard from the cab of a southern locomotive: "DEAR GOD WHERE DID THE BRIDGE GO!!!!" *Grabs break handle* /dramatic music and montage of sceens ending with the loco's front wheels just hanging in space.......... "Control is NOT going to be happy" :)

blarg seanm ask a hard question why don't you??? :) well after some thought and experimentation ive decided that i will have to cut and access hole which will be hidden by the foam ridge that will hide the staging tracks. though im hoping that a combination of atlas rerailers and slow...

wako doc G that layout is incredible for such a small space, and me not having even reached track laying on my own yet! just out of curiosity, every hobby publication ive seen on figure paining involves pink and white skin tones for caucasian and agalo people, but ive always wanted to ask what...

okay guys been playing around with the anyrail trail addition and have arrived at this. standard loop with lots of stuff coming off in all directions. the important things to know is that the back two tracks qwill serve as some form of staging, and future expansion. on the corner of the L the...

greetings all sorry i haven't updated, unfortunatly uni's back to top priority so work is now at a crawl. in this small update I want to show my subroadbed which is going in. Due to the extruded pink stuff you see in model railroader and the like is not availible in australia i wanted to use...
