NSW Rail Rambler: October 2014
http://nswrailrambler.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
A collection of photographs and stories from five decades of train chasing. Friday, October 24, 2014. Travels with and in Uncle Sam. Over nearly a hundred posts on this blog I think I may have displayed a fairly parochial view of railways. To recompense, it may be time to display a broader horizon, starting with my various travels in the United States of America. This was my first train trip in the States - 3 January 1991 on the Texas Eagle. Over the next eight days I travelled from Texas to Chicago,...

NSW Rail Rambler: July 2015
http://nswrailrambler.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
A collection of photographs and stories from five decades of train chasing. Friday, July 31, 2015. Went down to the local station this morning to watch the star attraction of the NSW heritage railway scene steam by on its way to Botany. Anyway, before I load up this morning's proceedings, here's a couple of 60 classes in revenue service in 1966/67. Both at Campbelltown, both on coal trains. First up, 6002, in February 1966. Now just check out those cars behind 6016! Saturday, July 25, 2015. It even got a...

Kamilaroi Model Railway Shack: "Starting from scratch".
http://kamilaroimodelrailway.blogspot.com/2015/05/starting-from-scratch.html
Kamilaroi Model Railway Shack. Modelling, based on "The Camden Line". Sunday, 17 May 2015. Since returning from Sydney, little has been happening. I have been into Port and purchased what I could, then ordered the rest from Sydney, and it is starting from scratch. I have had to buy everything, including styrene, glues, timber, screws, nails, you name it, I had to buy it. All the timbers have been cut and bundled into each module awaiting assembly. As for my rolling stock, I have the Loco, CCA and FO, and...

NSW Rail Rambler: December 2014
http://nswrailrambler.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
A collection of photographs and stories from five decades of train chasing. Sunday, December 7, 2014. Twenty years ago yesterday the NSW State Rail Authority auctioned locomotives which were deigned to be either at the end of their service life and/or surplus to current and anticipated requirements. In what became known as the Great Loco Auction. Another to survive the two decades through a series of (ahem) novel liveries has been 4488. It was purchased for a meagre $17,000. Currently it sits in ...CD re...

SCR: Hello
http://southcoastrail.blogspot.com/2015/05/hello.html
Modelling the far South Coast of New South Wales. Tuesday, May 19, 2015. I can't believe my last blog was in March and that was only to let it be known that I had received my 46 class locomotives. And when you look at the three blogs previous to those they were only to announce that I had received the 48's, a 45 class and a Victorian L class. So whats been happening on the layout? To try and rekindle some interest in the hobby, I attended the Modelling the Railways of NSW convention last Saturday. On...

SCR: November 2014
http://southcoastrail.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Modelling the far South Coast of New South Wales. Friday, November 14, 2014. Finally it has happened, the outside of the shed has received a coat of paint. It has taken a few weeks on and off to get it done and now looks good. All the eaves have been boxed in so unless I accidently leave the door open one night, that should be the last you will hear of possum problems. I just remembered that I opened a Flickr account some time ago to put "overflow" photos of the layout onto. Rather than troll through...

SCR: A New Year
http://southcoastrail.blogspot.com/2015/01/a-new-year.html
Modelling the far South Coast of New South Wales. Saturday, January 31, 2015. I am sure as you get older the time goes quicker. I can't believe it has been five weeks since the last post. Well it was last year. I haven't done anything worth writing about down the shed at the moment, working instead on another project inside that is absorbing a lot of modelling time. Nearly two thirds the way through so hope to resume residence down the shed soon. Anyhow here are todays photos:. Well I can predict the nex...
