Australian screenshots

Just a little something from my latest medium sized yard I thought I'd throw out there for feedback. Here, we have old storage sheds and overgrown, weedy track beds. Some wagons have been stored here for years, and are slowly rusting into the ground.

Just another little screenshot, from my QR Baffles Creek route, which contrary to popular belief, is progressing slowly but steadily.

A country road - to where? To parts unknown.

NSWGR - Saddleback Junction

Having decided to port this new route to TRS2006, I thought to post the screen shots here. I have replaced all the track, put in catch points, points and point rodding.

Entrance to Saddleback Junction Station and yards.

NSWGR 48 Class, unit 48155 heads the passenger service to Saddleback Junction, flanges squealing as it rounds the curve through the heavy forest.

Drovers Creek Crossing, where the creek has dried up leaving a fine layer of sand

Out for the day, the photographer snapped this picture of what was probably once the gatekeepers house, and is still in pretty good condition, even if the old gated crossing is no more.

Pausing for lunch, the photographer spotted an opportunity to photograph two NSWGR 48 class loading wheat out of Saddleback Junction Silo's.

It was well past lunchtime, when the 48's finished loading and checking the loaded NGXF wagons, before they radioed through to the signalman at the signal box they were requesting departure.

With the soft click of sliding points and the clack of the interlocking bars setting the route, the two NSWGR 48 class let fly with their horn as they notched up slowly, lifting the heavy weight from the silo track.

Clearing the sidings and back onto the mainline, they let fly the horns again, warning any drivers that they're approaching the level crossing.

A couple of old ones from me.
