Wallarah Creek: January 2012
http://wallarahcreek.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 14, 2012. Long time between drinks. It's been over a year since I last posted as things have been pretty hectic in that time. Still I have managed to finish trackwork in the yard and currently in the process of fitting point motors and started wiring. The DL is ready for the paint shop and I have sourced some decals from Al at AR kits. It will be in the AN livery as will both the EL classes. Posted by Wallarah Creek. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Wallarah Creek: Slow Progress
http://wallarahcreek.blogspot.com/2010/12/slow-progress.html
Saturday, December 4, 2010. Progress is slowly being made on the staging yards of Wallarah Creek. With being on holidays and taking the family down south for our annual pilgrimage to Merimbula, it has left little time for anything else. Also the Christmas decorations took a few days away from the "Creek" and the long list of jobs the wife had given me. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Posted by Wallarah Creek.

NSW Rail Rambler: October 2014
http://nswrailrambler.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
A collection of photographs and stories from five decades of train chasing. Friday, October 24, 2014. Travels with and in Uncle Sam. Over nearly a hundred posts on this blog I think I may have displayed a fairly parochial view of railways. To recompense, it may be time to display a broader horizon, starting with my various travels in the United States of America. This was my first train trip in the States - 3 January 1991 on the Texas Eagle. Over the next eight days I travelled from Texas to Chicago,...

NSW Rail Rambler: July 2015
http://nswrailrambler.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
A collection of photographs and stories from five decades of train chasing. Friday, July 31, 2015. Went down to the local station this morning to watch the star attraction of the NSW heritage railway scene steam by on its way to Botany. Anyway, before I load up this morning's proceedings, here's a couple of 60 classes in revenue service in 1966/67. Both at Campbelltown, both on coal trains. First up, 6002, in February 1966. Now just check out those cars behind 6016! Saturday, July 25, 2015. It even got a...

NSW Rail Rambler: December 2014
http://nswrailrambler.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
A collection of photographs and stories from five decades of train chasing. Sunday, December 7, 2014. Twenty years ago yesterday the NSW State Rail Authority auctioned locomotives which were deigned to be either at the end of their service life and/or surplus to current and anticipated requirements. In what became known as the Great Loco Auction. Another to survive the two decades through a series of (ahem) novel liveries has been 4488. It was purchased for a meagre $17,000. Currently it sits in ...CD re...

Wallarah Creek: Lloyds 82 Class
http://wallarahcreek.blogspot.com/2012/05/lloyds-82-class.html
Friday, May 18, 2012. I experimented with a flat piece of aluminium but it didn't have the same strength as the angle. With the body mountings fouling the angle, pieces were removed from each corner and filed to suit. Holes were then drilled using the existing chassis as a pilot then secured with the original 10 BA screws. The motor, mounting, couplings and final drives were re-assembled and all re-wired. A small piece of cardboard (yellow) was added to stop earthing. It was then tested.
