Thare is alot more on my bench, but overtime i will update as they come out of the darkness!

Howdy,

Here are a couple of pics of the benchwork that im up to!

This is the U Shaped fiddle yard which will incorporate 11 tracks when completed.

On the curved modules the minimum inner radius will be about 26 Inch and the Maximum outer Radius will be about 44 Inch.

It will be all Peco Code 100 Streamline Flex and Insulfrog Points in the Yard but the main sceniced modules will be Peco Code 75 Concrete Sleeper Flex and Wooden Electrofrog Points.

All Boards need to be Puttied, Sanded, Facia Boards Added then finally Paint!






















The main modules will be made out of Steel in a "C" Shape fashion with lighting Facia and Backdrop, similar to Bowen Creek!

Howdy,
Thought Ill start a blog like everybody else showing the progress on my Australian HO Scale layout called "On the Goods Lines".
OTGL will be loosely based on Sydney Suburb Belfield where the "Goods Only" line comes out of Enfield Yard and runs approx 5km East then joins the Bankstown line.

This location (especially Burwood Road overpass) is a mecca for Gunzels!


View Larger Map



Note that it will be "Loosely" Based on this area to allow me to have some interesting structures as well as some that are already there!

The layout will start basically with 3 Tracks (2 Main and 1 from Enfield Arr/Dept Roads) from the Western end, then go under "Burwood Road" then Dissapeer under "Albert St". This will incorporate 5 points on the main boards.

The size is overall 4m Squared in a 2 Car Garage

3m x4m of is fiddle yard (11 Tracks in total) and the remaining 1m x 4m is the sceniced "Run Thru" Modules.

All Trains will be Fully Detailed "Ultra Modern" Prototype of what runs thru this area, with exception to a couple "Cool" ringins.

Here are a couple of pics of trains in this area!








Will update soon with some pics of where im up to!
