Some quick shots from my current route, Cooma Monaro Railway. It is loosely based on the line from Canberra/Queanbeyan to Batlow, via Cooma and Michelago.
The route is also based in the 60's/70's when small 48 and 45 class Alcos still trundled along the line with mixed goods trains.

I;m starting to ask this on a regular basis...Which grass is that?
I'm making this route from memory, while modifying it to be a bit more like it was in the 60's/70's. I assumed the branch went up to Batlow, because I heard it mentioned as part of the line.
@Forest_Runner - I assume you mean the two track loco shed thats built into TRS2006-09? I would of used it, but the engine shed at Cooma looks closer to the English one i'm using (I think. I'm building this route from memory).
I am looking forward to working on the section of line in Hume, Canberra. Hume is a good place to look for railway insulators, and I go there frequently.

Not all the QR steamers on display are on QDR. Dreddmans C-17 and BB-18 1/4s are there, the other C-17s are by Greg Cash. A PB-15 i have been showing off has as far as i am aware not been added to any site. The NG steamers i showed off are in beta form and are still under going testing.

A couple of Questions.
Are your new creations going to be in available for everyone to use ? Are you planning a Narrow Guaged version ? If no why not ? why i ask not all of us have modelled QR with SG tracks.

Heres some more shots from Cooma.
^ Night time falls as 4830 rumbles past Cooma with a mixed goods train.
^ A farmer and his stubborn cow on the cattle loading ramp in Cooma.
^ Railmotor no.103 heading to Gundagai.
^ The derelict station masters cottage at Cooma.
^ Some workers refuel and service 4808 at Cooma.

Ronayne, a friend of mine once walked from Letchworth to Hume along the line, and then hiked up a seperate path to Tuggeranong. We also drove down to ride on the CMR, and we checked out Royalla and Michelago Station stations, as well as an unknown siding on the down side of the Colinton tunnel. Sadly the tunnel is on private land, so no access.
My photos are all more or less online:

I attacked it from both a photographers and a railway historians point of view, so the shots might not help you with your layout, but some of them might!

Looking very fine Mr Commisioner. Walkers Limited have outdone themselves. As I've said, I will be quite happy to take on building a set of QGR platforms for my friends north o' the border, however it will have to wait until I have uploaded the NSWGR ones and until the completion of my HSC exams. When you can, email me the measurements listed a couple of pages back and some photographs of a platform in your local area and I'll knock them together for you.Hello All

Kind regards,

You assume wrong, Bartlow is on the Gundagai - Gilmore line the other side of the Snowy Mountains (and it's already been done by PGibbons). The only stations after Cooma are Nimitabel and Bombala (and probably a couple of smaller ones) and that part of the line runs in an easterly direction towards Bega, but doesn't get there (bit of a drop)

Royalla and Michelago are also some of my favorite places to go, due to the abandoned rail wagons. The engine shed and tracks at Michelago are in surprisingly good condition. The engine shed looks brand new, with exception of a door which appears to have been blown inside during a storm.
Shall I post some photos?
I personally would find them interesting - it's been a while since I've visited those locations, hopefully not much has changed!

I agree. I have not yet had a chance to explore the line. I do know there is an old Lancashire boiler down at Maclaughlin dumped outside the metalworks there along with several other bits of machinery.
