Oh do not sell yourself so short - you have done the station area almost spot on including east box and the siding which lead to the resting place of 5112 in the car park.
Amazing that you even got the 600 class set as 626 rode her many times when she was used to be the unit that ran between Bathurst and Lithgow.

Well that the end of Sydney's Monorail - Go ride and take photos before she is gone 
They look like Deadly's NSW Cityrail platforms - they're easily found on the DLS. And yes, they're excellent content.
Also, thanks to cjgeddes for negotiating the re-release of the TGR M and MA class locos as freeware (and thank you so much to the original creator as well (Steven I believe his name is?) - I'd long regretted never being able to purchase these beautiful engines when they were originally available and would have gladly purchased them if they had been released again as payware. Maybe he could set up a donation system or something for them, as a thank you for re-releasing them? It's just a thought.
).Thank you again!

Really? That's upsetting. I'd heard there were calls to shut it down but...
I guess it will make the old AR Kit Company monorail train sets more valuable then.
Anyway, a small taste of a little diversion I've been working on - a Perth-themed route set in the 1880s:
WAGR 0-6-0 saddle tank engine number 1 (later C class no 1) has nearly reached it's destination at Guildford, the then terminus of the Eastern Railway, with a short passenger train, sometime in the early 1880s.
Over a century later, this rural scene would be virtually unrecognizable.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT
Sale of Metro Transport Sydney (MTS) and the future of Sydney Monorail
[FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]Sydney, Friday 23 March 2012 – Today the NSW Government has announced the acquisition of Metro Transport Sydney (MTS), the current owner of Sydney Light Rail and Sydney Monorail. It has also announced that Sydney Monorail will be dismantled, to make way for the development of the Sydney International Convention Exhibition and Entertainment Precinct. The Minister’s media release is attached.
Whilst it is very disappointing to have it confirmed that Sydney Monorail will be dismantled in the future, it is exciting that the Government is committed to proceeding with the development of this important infrastructure project for both the Darling Harbour Business Community and for Sydney as a whole.
Details as to what is planned for the Monorail decommissioning and when this will happen, is yet to be confirmed and MTS will communicate that information when available.
[/FONT]What this means for MTS?
[FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]MTS will continue as the client holding company for Sydney Light Rail and Sydney Monorail. The NSW Government acquisition announcement is just the start of this transition period and all MTS obligations to staff, passengers, stakeholders and industry partners continue as usual.
MTS currently outsources the operation of Sydney Light Rail and Sydney Monorail to Veolia Transport Sydney (VTS). This contracted arrangement remains in place, ensuring the continued delivery of the Sydney Light Rail and Sydney Monorail service during this transition period.
MTS will continue to communicate with staff, passengers, stakeholders and industry partners throughout this process.

Statement from Lord Mayor Clover Moore
"This is exactly what we've been waiting for from this Government - big, bold transport projects. I welcome the purchase of Metro Transport Sydney which will help fully integrate the current light rail system into the expanded network now being planned.Removal of the ugly and intrusive monorail is also the right next step. Replacing it with efficient and effective light rail will improve transport access in central Sydney. The City of Sydney has committed $180 million for public domain works in George Street if light rail proceeds and a section of George Street is pedestrianised.Running light rail along George Street will drastically reduce traffic congestion, making it easier for bus passengers and pedestrians to get around the city. Light rail can carry up to 8000 people an hour – a modern, low-floor tram will get more people across the city faster with low environmental impacts.As a City Councillor in the 1980s, I joined many others in opposing the construction of the monorail. I believed then that light rail was the better option for linking Darling Harbour to the city centre. I'm pleased that many others are now reaching the same

Mulie, the much maligned module master... those shots are perfect! I love them - Disclaimer: Yes big branch line fan!
Raichase, very nice western representation. I'll be following with interest.
Travelled a few 620/720 and 48 and/or 49 class hauled passenger trains in those last years of passenger operations between Lithgow and Bathurst. Got many photos on the reverse s-bends through Sodwalls as well - I remembered it as an awesome place for photography. Sorry to ramble... just reminiscing.

More than I thought! Regardless, your patience and attention to detail has paid off in the end. It's so realistic!
