I am currently updating my SAR Peterborough Narrow Gauge Division route to include the Pichi Richi Pass from Woolshed Flat to Quorn and extending to Hawker (Commonwealth Railways upto 1972). I am also "fixing" the section from Quorn to Peterborough so that the terrain resembles reality (which was totally fictional in the original release).
Release date on the DLS unknown but I am hoping this year (its a big job!).

looking for more images of the Willunga railway, I came across this huge collection of SA images here https://www.flickr.com/photos/cpdbear/30067245661/in/album-72157674748118236/
some great images of Quorn and Pichi Richi pass.

I've looked all over Download Station and I cant for the life off me find the round SAR concrete water tanks that are used on the Willunga line, does anyone out there know of a model of one ? if not, it might be a fairly easy model for me to get started on in blender. cant find any plans for one either, but i have several images that pretty much give me all the info i need.
This asset shows as DLC. You can't edit or modify the content because it's locked.
I do have some good Color images of one and could work out sizes from them, thanks for the offer ,I'll work out dimensions and send you some images soon,
Looking today for plans for the water tower and found this very useful repository of SAR rolling stock and loco drawings.

Sometimes Flickr collections can go under the radar, this one on SAR railways is huge.
Some incredible images.

I haven't forgotten your kind offer , I'm awaiting to hear from the port dock museum , they are looking for info , drawings, data s etc for the line for me. will get back when I hear from them.
This is the old NG loco shed in Port Pirie. Has anyone seen a model available that looks like this? Or a model that looks like half of this and duplicate?
As a work around I've been using NSW Cooma Loco Shed (KUID 2:97008:36099:1) but would prefer to get something a little closer. Any suggestions?
Goods Shed Quorn is similar shape but wrong type and does not support the dual lines
Here is a scene from the top of Ellen Street, 22.7.1967

Here are a few updates on my project. I've crossed over into the darkside and included a length of Broad Gauge extending out of Port Pirie all the way to Redhill. Some of this is very early WIP
The images show SAR 621 heading north along the broad gauge line to Port Pirie in July 1967 for the Farewell Ellen Street Tour. Then SAR G409 heads east along the old narrow gauge into Crystal Brook and beyond. The images of the BG line out of Pirie are after just under a weeks worth of work
I had been looking at having this released for alpha testing in late November or early December and public release likely around Christmas or early in the new year. This may slip out further as I've added a chunk that was planned for a later stage.
I am interested in getting a few people to alpha test this for me when I think this is ready. If you are interested then please send me a PM
621 arrives in Redhill alongside the old station building
SAR 621 heading north out of Redhill. Broughton river is visible beyond the trees
SAR 621 crossing Rocky River through farming country
SAR 621 continues north crossing the rather dry creek bed of Crystal Brook just under 9kms west of the Crystal Brook town center
SAR 621 has arrived in Ellen Street about 11:00am with passengers to transfer to SAR G409 before continuing ontowards Crystal Brook, Gladstone and Peterborough. 409 sits read and alongside is a Smelter NG loco (well not really but could not find something to use here)
SAR 409 heading east through the Warnertown past the now derelict platform
409 pulling into Crystal Brook yard
409 heading through the western end of Huddlestone Curves with the toru. Beyond is visible the new SG line with a test training hauling loaded ore wagons
