Tropical N Scale: March 2015
http://tropicalnscale.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Southern Pacific's Boyne River Subdivision. Tuesday, March 24, 2015. Bundaberg Model Train Expo 2015. These photos were taken with my video camera so they might not be up to my usual standards. The LN.E.R Door to Door Layout had two things going for it, first it had two trains racing around it which kids love and it had a high level of detail for the adults. Logan Bend had a mixture of things running including some scratch built Queensland Rail N scale equipment. Dan-Brae an English HO or OO themed layout.

Tropical N Scale: Wiring and Track
http://tropicalnscale.blogspot.com/2015/07/wiring-and-track.html
Southern Pacific's Boyne River Subdivision. Thursday, July 30, 2015. Well the helix track has been relaid with an extra track in the middle to turn or store trains as well as the lower staging and wiring done as well. Nothing gives you more satisfaction as when you wire up the control and it all runs with no bugs, first time. Not pretty but easy to repair or resolder just need to add some fall protection to the staging area. John van den bosch. December 13, 2015 at 8:05 AM. John van den bosch. The Queens...

Tropical N Scale: March 2014
http://tropicalnscale.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Southern Pacific's Boyne River Subdivision. Thursday, March 6, 2014. So you want to shunt do you? Like getting the railroad to store my wagons in their yard rather than building a long section of track to hold them myself, as long as I turn them around quick I will save a heap of money. I also decided to put in a R.I.P track at the east end of the yard to add a little bit of operating variety for the yard switcher and road crews. To provide a solid base for the joints on the lift bridge I used flat alumi...

Tropical N Scale: Making Peco Points DCC Happy
http://tropicalnscale.blogspot.com/2013/05/making-peco-points-dcc-happy.html
Southern Pacific's Boyne River Subdivision. Monday, May 13, 2013. Making Peco Points DCC Happy. Thanks to the internet I have been researching how to make Peco code 55 N scale points DCC friendly, there are plenty of wiring diagrams but not many photos so I have put some together to show how dummies like me have done it. To make the cut as small as possible I made it with a fine saw. The jumpers are in place and I have soldered a green wire to the frog so the polarity to it can be changed. Thanks to the ...

The next day was a little different and I had the pleasure to meet some of the m...

Tropical N Scale: Building a Spray Booth
http://tropicalnscale.blogspot.com/2009/03/building-spray-booth.html
Southern Pacific's Boyne River Subdivision. Sunday, March 22, 2009. Building a Spray Booth. I built the "Booth" out of cheap MDF wood 600 x 600 mm square with a hole in the top towards the rear for the exhaust fan. The exhaust fan and vent kit. I then installed the prewired 16w fluro light on to the front skirting board then screwed the board into place. I then mounted the fan unit. I got some sticky velcro dots to hold the prefilter over the vents face plate. John van den bosch. John van den bosch.

Tropical N Scale: Laying The First Layout Track
http://tropicalnscale.blogspot.com/2013/05/laying-first-layout-track.html
Southern Pacific's Boyne River Subdivision. Tuesday, May 21, 2013. Laying The First Layout Track. I have been preparing points in the last week and now its time to lay some track on the layout, the main line will be Peco code 80 with cement sleepers and the yard will be atlas code 55. The pain in the ass bit is the fact that there are no Atlas code 55 points available on the planet at the time of construction so I have to mate the atlas track to peco code 55 points.

Tropical N Scale: Track Plan Top Deck V1.0
http://tropicalnscale.blogspot.com/2013/05/track-plan-top-deck-v10.html
Southern Pacific's Boyne River Subdivision. Thursday, May 2, 2013. Track Plan Top Deck V1.0. Below V1 is V2 the modified plan after doing a test run with some flex track and peco points and the main difference is the main line and shunt line have been swapped around to ease the curve of the mainline at the west end of the yard and the reduction of the number of through tracks in the engine terminal.
