Sorry for the lack of a screenshot, will have one once the signalling is done. When and where do you use NSW colour light signals?

TGR Conara - Avoca : Servicing Avoca Coal Loaders
Its 6:10AM on a weekday at Conara Junction, Tasmania, sometime in the year 1952. The crew prepare a TGR T-class for a return coal working to Avoca. The driver oils around while the fireman shovels forward. A Conara safeworking officer walks east along the dirt road that runs by the loco shed to set the points for the loco to leave the shed.

Cam is still working on those (he has progress shots in the NZ thread), and hence they're not available yet from what I'm aware - from what he's shown so far of the ADK/ADBs they're looking great.
Just have a little patience.

Ok cheers mate! I am a fan of the ADL's however when it comes to the ADK's, it's a way diffrent storie! Good design, horrible engine!
Cheers Jeran

Heh, considering both the ADK and ADL cars have Cummins engines - the ADL/ADCs were even worse with their auxiliary engines for the airconditioning made them notoriously noisy in Westrail/Transperth service even when idling, where as the ADKs were relatively quiet. But I'm just waffling here. 
Session: TGR Conara - Avoca : Servicing Avoca Coal Loaders
6:17AM, Conara Junction. Passing the Conara water tower after leaving the depot. While a large water tower existed at Conara, there was no water crane. The tower fed a hose outlet at the loco shed that was for emergency use only because there was no reliable local water source. Instead, locos operating on the Fingal branch took water from the tank at Llewellyn, 8 miles to the east. Llewellyn was close to the South Esk River, from which water could be pumped to the tank.
6:20AM, Conara Junction. There are no flashing lights or boom gates to protect the Midland Highway traffic in 1952. The Conara safeworking officer confirms the traffic is stopped at the crossing before pulling off the inner home branch signal to allow the TGR T-class to move forward to its train of coal empties waiting in the north yard. Train 145 is due away in 10 minutes, bound for Avoca.

Session: TGR Conara - Avoca : Servicing Avoca Coal Loaders
6:24AM, Conara Juncton. The T-class loco for train 145 briefly runs on the main Hobart-Launceston line in its journey from the loco shed to the north yard. The double-arm semaphore signal is designated 'up second home branch' (upper sempahore) and 'up second home loop' (lower semaphore). Before train 145 departs for Avoca, the upper semaphore will need to be pulled off by the safeworking officer using the ground frame located adjacent to the signal. On the north yard shunting neck you can see a stored Australian Standard Garratt (ASG). These started to accumulate at Conara from the early 1950s, withdrawn after less than 10 years service on the TGR because of mechanical shortcomings and unpopularity with crews.
6:35AM, Conara Junction. Train 145 departs for Avoca, taking the north arm of the wye out of the village. In doing so, the train passes through the branch platform and misses the main line platform on the west arm of the wye. The branch platform fell into disuse sometime in the 1950s, and its face had been removed by the early 1960s. Branch passenger services from Launceston subsequently used the main line platform, then reversed back to gain access to the branch via the north arm of the wye.

Just a question. Was the track really that close to the road? I would have thought it would have been a couple metres away.
