Well, not tonight, as it's pub night
.
In all reality, I'm getting close. I've still got the bit between the junctions south fork and the town of Burri Burri to texture, landscape and place tree/houses/roads on.
I'd also like to do some of the mainline back north towards Sydney, bringing it back to single track with a larger town further north, as well as a proper yard, and a place to terminate the branch passenger (if it was to go along the south fork at terminate at Langtree, it would have to run around using the up main, before heading back out, which would be a bit messy).
I'm thinking something like what "wattle creek" is on the Wadalbavale Line.
The idea being that freights run off the south fork, into Langtree, pick up the other branch line freight, plus the freight from Langtree, and then head back towards Sydney along the mainline. Passenger trains (401/402 hauled) would head off the branch along the north fork to the distant town of "Bunta" where it would terminate, probably meeting one of the mail trains from Sydney. It would then run into a siding to run around it's trailer before heading back.
Continuing the mainline would also give me a chance to have some interesting mainline traffic from the era be shown off, although the basic layout could be done without all this work.
I'm trying to set up a "sample" session which would also be offered, much like the Wadalbavale Layout comes with too, but that would involve learning more about triggers and whatnot, which I'm eager to do. Ideally I'd like to have the mainline fully scripted for each session, so that you're not sitting at a red signal for hours on end...
Thanks for the kind words
