Australian screenshots

@Evan, check your email. I send you an email back and can you resend the carriage diagrams, I can only do the wheels but you can do the frames.

Cheers Michael
 
hi evan,
map was made with google earth using aus tracks,so it's going to show whats there now

now i'm not fimular with this area,what i do when ineed to locate anything is
run google earth in back ground two screens would be the perfect world,use the mini map zoom out with the candem map and you should be able to see the layout a bit better
and cross reference with google earth
unfortently 50 years have passed and progress has taken over and it will be differcult to find to find the old alignment
but there is hope,i have been on a site,can't remember,it had aireal photos of brisbane taken in 1946 and it showed everything,there might be something out there for sydney
if you want a copy of aus tracks it shows all of australias closed lines using google earth i can send it you
if there is anything else i can do don't be shy to ask

cheers,
patchy
 
Patchy, I might be able to help you a bit. I have a book which shows just a basic scale outline map of the railway line and road before closure and realignment which you could use to find locations and the route.
Cheers, Evan.
 
A relaxing night & day cruising around the suburbs by rail. First, we see EMU57 shortly after terminating at Cleveland.

Hi All,

Been awhile since Ive Posted,Some wonderful screenshots have been posted lately.
Thought I'd post few screenshots after re-laying all the track with Davido's excellent concrete sleeper track.

The Southern Spirit north coast tour is lead out of Acacia Ridge with NR84/85.


NR84/85 arrive at Kyogle station where the passengers will be given a tour of the town,Also NR84 had engine issues on the way from Acacia Ridge so a new NR loco has been put a Brisbane-Sydney freighter to assist NR85 with the tour.


The Brisbane-Sydney freight arrives in Kyogle where NR37 will take over as lead loco on the Southern Spirit express.


NR84 has now been added to the freighter where it will be hauled to Sydney for repairs while a new relief crew prepares NR37 to be attached to NR85.


NR37/85 make progress with the Southern Spirit expess as they head towards Casino.

A2 995 sits on the headshunt with T374 attempting a run around of it's passenger. For a terminus like Postma an A2 is overkill, as it is really too big for trains to the station...

995 will later be used at Echuca on the peir line, then later left to rust at the old depot.
