I have collected a few pictures for when my route gets to Redfern...... these will need to be photo-shopped to get the correct perspective but its a starting point.

Along side the coal hoppers, Steven Has also made some BGKF's. Iv been working on the skins for both of them and they're planned to be realised on ATD when they're finished.
Though id show a couple shots of them.
The Second wagon in this picture, the Reflective white rectangles were out of line and have since been fixed.
Cheers, Ryan

Good shot of the new type coal hoppers there Ryan. When it is completed will it have end train marker that David had previously made? Do you still plan to skin the wagons based off from various company liveries then use script for selection of similar skins/paintwork?

Hey Lspdyiu, The wagons will have ETM’s but that will be something Steven is going to add after I finish the skins. With the livery’s, I’m doing the PN hoppers covered in graffiti and Dirt like they are today. Maybe in the future after I finish I might make the earlier freight Corp version of the hoppers.
cheers, Ryan

love the ballast rake in the screen shots
If I can't find a great photo for the textures I always go to Google Earth and Streetview gives me a starting point which I can then modify if needed with photoshop.
So with the picture below I capture this image and then the ones to the left and right till I have the entire building.
If the top of the building as seen in the top right does not appear in the picture grab a picture of that and copy paste into main picture
If people are walking by edit them out.
I use this method to create shops, houses and apartment blocks in Streetview
With the dimensions I always use Google Earth ruler to calculate the length and width.
Then if you have the picture cropped so there is no gap in the picture to the left and right of the building , knowing the length of the picture you can work out the height of various parts of the building (eg to top of wall or to top of roof)

Due to some "event" in Cowra in the early hours 5th August 1944 an urgent troop train was sent from Sydney to help out

My Grandmother used to tells stories of that day. It was the first time they locked the doors of the house.

Just searched for and read up about that "event." I had never heard of it before in all my studies of WWII. Thanks for the tip.

I always find the screen shots from your retrospective Sydney route fascinating Roy. I remember as a child going to the AMP rooftop (tallest in Sydney !), and spending one of Dad's pennies to look through the telescope. My Grandmother (mother's mother) lived in Lindfield, and we would catch the train to Circular Quay, then a lift to the very top of the building! For a wide eyed country boy it was a big day out in the city.
