Kamilaroi Model Railway Shack: "Sure can't rush things".
http://kamilaroimodelrailway.blogspot.com/2015/06/sure-cant-rush-things.html
Kamilaroi Model Railway Shack. Tuesday, 23 June 2015. Sure can't rush things". I checked them over several times from different directions and couldn't find out why. I think I may have had a bubble in the plastic tube. Maybe the water level is telling me the train ran up hill, down dale, and that's the way my layout should be, true to the proto type. Modules in place, Campbelltown left, Camden right. Narellan across the back. Campbelltown - Branch Line only. Cheers till next time. A Job for Grandpa.

VR Days: September 2013
http://vrdays.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 23, 2013. Take that, you cad! Further to my last post, I promised to write some more about the J Class. The J Class and I have been eyeing each other off from opposite corners of the room for a while now. Just when I think I'm getting somewhere, it flicks me the bird and tells me to ".jam it where it fits, pal." (Well, that's what it felt like to me, anyway.). We're moving next weekend from Vancouver, Canada down to Bellingham, USA. Within a few days, the modelling room will be up a...

BYLONG: A day at the Modelling the Railways of NSW Convention
http://bylong.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-day-at-modelling-railways-of-nsw.html
Sunday, May 17, 2015. A day at the Modelling the Railways of NSW Convention. I had an enjoyable day at the convention yesterday as always. Having been involved in running the convention for the first 22 years I can appreciate the work that goes into the day to make it successful so I congratulate the small group responsible. The fact that they are all friends adds to the feeling of camaraderie. I had been looking forward to the day, met many other modellers and had enjoyable conversations. May 18, 2015 a...

VR Days: February 2013
http://vrdays.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 11, 2013. Light at the end of the tunnel. I've been really getting stuck in to the P87 18.37mm gauge J Class project since Christmas. As you can see, it's getting there. (For the record; the tender is in undercoat, as it was completed some time ago.). I'm starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

VR Days: May 2014
http://vrdays.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 12, 2014. South of the Border. Proto87 stalwart and fellow Proto87 protagonist, Rene' Gourly, came down from Vancouver BC, Canada to Bellingham WA, USA for the day to help me out on my Australian prototype layout. These are the crazy things one can do when living close to the border. Rene' suggested that I follow the Gravett approach by using the carry cases as layout 'legs'. They have to go somewhere, so I may was well put them to good use. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Kamilaroi Model Railway Shack: October 2014
http://kamilaroimodelrailway.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Kamilaroi Model Railway Shack. Sunday, 5 October 2014. Since my last post I have completed the Goods Shed for Moree, and I am now working on putting the wire security fence around the Fuel Depot. I have added a few Yard detail items I've had here for some time, just to get them out of storage. Also placed the Fettlers Shed and their trike and trailer with a rail rack. A shackle rack is by the Carriage Sidings in case of coupling problems. Fuel Depot. Match sticks to hold the netting in place. Ian Phemist...

Kamilaroi Model Railway Shack: "Starting from scratch".
http://kamilaroimodelrailway.blogspot.com/2015/05/starting-from-scratch.html
Kamilaroi Model Railway Shack. Modelling, based on "The Camden Line". Sunday, 17 May 2015. Since returning from Sydney, little has been happening. I have been into Port and purchased what I could, then ordered the rest from Sydney, and it is starting from scratch. I have had to buy everything, including styrene, glues, timber, screws, nails, you name it, I had to buy it. All the timbers have been cut and bundled into each module awaiting assembly. As for my rolling stock, I have the Loco, CCA and FO, and...
