Most names are based off actual locations. In the case of Dhura Oon, there was a small station on the VR known as 'Dhuragoon'. However, the G had fallen off the sign, so I called this one 'Dhura Oon'.
In the case of this map, it uses both BG and SG tracks. The 'ZR' branchline, and the 'main line' are BG. There's also a SG 'main line' running down the layout, which has a short branch (along a DG section of track on the ZR banch) into the ZR workshops. There's also a DG container yard in Dhura Oon.

thats funny, I know I did one many years ago, but I also did one more recently than that, for which I still have the mesh, i wonder if I forgot to release it. Rod are my original GY's capable of a load?. The one I have the mesh for is, and it comes in several liveries.
cheers

I am still using the originals that Alex reconfigured, and I have never noticed your new ones in screen shots?
I might be wrong...
The only new one I have is the HY ??
I will do a search, if the DLS will let me
Cheers

if you have access to storage at victrainz look in my folder, it would be easier for you to look for what you have not got, also look in my threads at victrainz anything I left there is either mentioned in content release or my threads in my section or betas

Hey all,
Started working on a Narrow Gauge 3ft tramway track, There was 1 placed at Queenscliff from 1886 till 1950's, another one was in South Geelong from the station through Yarra street then down Fyans Street to the coal works (not sure what gauge that was, assuming it's also 3ft)
Should have the track done in a week
just wondering if there was any other locations in Victoria that would of had a 3ft Gauge line somewhere? or if anyone would need the track for a project, I'm currently making it as both sleepers only and rail only versions, if there was some with banks let me know.

Personally I am unaware of 3.0 ft gauge track being used anywhere in Victoria. The Government used only 2 ft 6 inches and 5 foot 3 inches. And most of the logging and coal mines were fairly temporary anyway.
The SEC Railway at Morwell was 90 cm gauge which translated into 2 foot 11 7/16 inches..hell that's 3 foot I guess (on curves
)hence the reason for 900mm gauge
"Wongms Gallery"
has details, even plans!!

The tourist railway at Queenscliff is 3ft 6in,

There were plenty of 3ft gauge logging tramways. The Yarra Junction to Powelltown tramway was 3ft gauge.
As a note, this was apparently the only tramway to actually be 'licensed' to carry passenges, and the VR did apparently sell tickets to travel on it. It was most certainly not a 'temporary' tramway
There were also a heck of a lot of 2ft gauge tramways mixed in with the 3ft
And a screenie just because I can

Sorry to disagree my friend
Although parts of these "tramways" were more or less permanent, the bits that sourced the traffic were generally temporary set track affairs.
Although my knowledge of particular "tramways" is next to nothing, the few books I read seem to distinguished bush tramways from railways mainly due to their "temporary" nature.
Otherwise we would be calling Whitfield, Colac and Belgrave tramways too
Maybe the wooden rails gave a few of them a problem too :hehe:
Cheers
Rod (who hates trams
)edit
I failed to notice the word "tramway" in the original post, I was of course thinking railway track. Hence my difficulty with track laid for years, or those that are picked up and moved to where the work is. even Wikipedia has trouble with it, or just ignores it
# Tramway (industrial), a lightly laid railway for uses such as logging or mining (the original use of the word)
# A system of trams (public transport vehicles running on rails)

Hi Rod
Most of the logging tramways in the Alexandra and Powelltown areas were actually as permanent as many of the VR's branchlines (as a note, there was also a series of 5ft3in gauge tramways in northern Victoria from what I've read). Some of the branchlines/sidings weren't permanent (then again, the VR did this as well at times ).
Although lightly laid, they were still 'permanent'. A few that only changed track locations due to changes in the area (e.g. movements of roads, sales/purchases of land, etc - same things that can change 'mainline' railways too!) are the Alexandra to Rubicon (although this was 2ft IIRC), the Yarra Junction to Powelltown, the Powelltown to Warburton, and a few others out along the Warburton line Tyers Valley was another (this was actually 2ft6in and directly connected to the VR's Walhalla line!). Fairly short lived one, but then the VR had a few lines that had shorter lives :hehe:
Generally the interchange (either rail line or road) to mill sections were permanent, as were the mill to mill sections (there were plenty of cases in Vic where timber would be felled, milled, then transported to the 'main' mill for temp storage, then taken to the interchange when they had a large enough consist).
The Powelltown system was actually fairly extravagant, having some rather impressive bridges, and a rather impressive tunnel, along with connections to both Yarra Junction and Warburton (Yarra Junction was the main interchange, being the end of their 'main line' section).
