Kywong Branch NSW - Unusual Workings
Some unusual workings on the Kywong Branch NSW...
While the C30T's dominated the line, 50 classes were allowed. Extra seasonal wheat train for Belfrayden diverges of the main south at Uranquinty, heading past the combined home/distant signal. The lack of turning facilities at the destination, ensured tender first working with the empties is the order of the day. An early start is needed, to not interfere with the regular scheduled mixed that runs later in the day. Massive thanks to Elstoko for the recent RU Wagons variations. They look a treat! Pete and Bearcat's ( now NSWGR_46class) evolution of the standards goods loco family hold up well in TRS2019 too!
In reality, I don't believe the ARHS's "Vintage Train" made its way onto the branch. Anything is possible with the Trainz programs... before the days of the brighter colours to locos and cars, 1219 and 2532 did historically haul the old pullmans around the state in the 1950s. Here, galloping through Belfrayden and over the Lockhart Rd crossing. Don't often see these Pete/Bearcat collaborated models posted here, but they're a little underrated. The 12 class looks fantastic.
The role of gangers and fettlers throughout our railway history is not often considered. On sleeper replacement duty at Bullenbung Creek Tank... while the usual facilities won't be required, the boys have just dumped some older sleepers and loaded up some new replacements. Awesome Fairmont Trike model by Phil of Weddin fame.
With little, or sometimes no ballast, NSW branchlines did require periodical weeding! Here at Collingullie, "treatment" is well underway. The specialty vehicles for the train by Bearcat gives us a new perspective on recreating prototypical operations.
Man, we have some talented creators. Thank you guys. :Y:
