I only recall the two through the middle as a child, i spent many years visiting Grandma at Goodna whose place just happened to overlook the then timbered and yarded station area. Memories of friends family and my own have gone into making these maps i work on the results of which are there for all to see and enjoy.

If after 3:30 pm in that era those platforms would be full of school kids on their way home from the various nearby schools, plus other school kids changing trains. In that era there were free train passes for school kids. All you had to do was nominate your local station and the free pass was given out at school. If you are into Brisbane trams in trainz, the scholars fare was 3 pence later 6 pence any day of the week on school business even if not in uniform. No time limit so was ok in peak hour eg footy training after school or Saturday inter school footy.
ps, Ghosty, as you can see above, your screen shots were so good they sent me down memory lane! You can all relax as I will not start on my father's stories of Central Station pre WW2.....

Edit; I am not suggesting you add lots of school kids to the platforms as that would restrict you to that time of day.

Signal boxes / signal cabins in other parts of Australia? Try http://www.signalbox.org/overseas/australia/index.htm
Good for suggesting background scenery in our trainz landscapes. A number of the pictures also show part of the signal diagram thus the track diagram.
Details for anyone interested in signals, especially QLD, try http://www.sigq.org/index.htm

Pure class, Ghosty... the project looks like it's coming along famously!
Especially love the first shot in the group. Other than being a damn good pic, it evokes a lot of childhood memories (NSW though).

Howdy. It's been a while since I've last visited but the quality of work being shown here continues to be outstanding. As a turn of events I have settled in my new job well and when I'm not playing with the real trains, I have regained time to play Trainz again. So my Wallangarra project is underway once again.

Are the carriages in this screenshot available for download anywhere?

Thank you all for the compliments on my work, a lot of input research drawn from books and associated material and memories of family friends and those of myself have gone into the work.

They are built in, the QR ones
For TS2010, but not for TS12 and also the ones in TS2010 are standard gauge, I'm asking for ones that are 3ft 6in.
I'm not sure there are any 3ft 6in ones. I have been using standard gauge ones in my screenshots.

I've just updated the QR timber-earth platforms. Only a minor change to the uprights on the face, now 3d. Not on the DLS. See below.

Are you using 3ft 6in bogies on them or standard ones, if so which 3ft 6in bogies are you using?

Hi Cameron,
I was "working" (it was a WIP a few years ago) on a 3ft 6in bogey set for my QR Sunlander carriages
(Maroon and Blue livery) and it got forgotten.
I will look for the old files I have and resurect the project.
Cheers,
Bill.
