    You do realise that it is possible that landing man on the moon in the 60s was easier than interacting with modern model railway technology :thumbs:

    Yes the boffins that put this board together would have had issues with opening the lunar modules door let alone getting it to orbit :avatar::avatar::avatar::avatar:

    The 45 performed well during the train night shunting with a big engine has its challenges so I'm told :giggle:

    Link to the quick video of the inner workings of the 45

    They`re not bears Paul.....they`re just Koalas.

    People think they look like bears.????

    Anyway Chris yeah?.....,where`s the koalas up a gum tree and maybe some wallabies and a goanna or two. Come to think of it how about Neville the aborigine complete with spear and boomerang.?????:avatar::avatar::avatar::avatar:

    Very nice pics by the way......it must be hard contemplating taking an airbrush to that loco for some weathering.???

    Paul and Gormo I was hoping at the last exhibition the supplier who dose little Koalas, galahs, and Cockatoo's would be their but they weren't I could pinch then Koalas off Lizard Ridge but would have to replace them hopfully The supplier will be at the next exhibition.

    4520 is preserved so I am contemplating lightly weathering that way I can place in in the 1960 era to current just need a spare few hours to do the job in one go.

    They do make a bit of noise and put on a smoke show when given a chunk of throttle.

    What's gone wrong with Paul's Car:facepalm:
    He hasn't turned it into one of those boy racers, with the exhaust hanging off :avatar:
    Can't really talk our V8 SS ute has a electronic,variable/tuneable exhaust.

    Chris,

    Still looking good. I was amazed at the operating potential of the layout

    Have you added a toilet block to the platform? Do I spy some additonal rolling stock?

    When is the next running session?

    Hi David the Base end veranda car is a Fox Models FO With the overlay that they made for the RG.
    The other side just looks like a standard FO.
    There must be a few versions as this photo attached shows a clestory roof inside.
    I have a photo of a RG at Gosford but can't find it at the moment. I'm sure Evan Rees will have some

    Thanks for the info Chris

    I have drawings for 3 different versions here, plan is to get one made out of a casula kit or an Austrians rtr model.

    Have planed it out so far just have to get working on it.

    That is a great photo Gary
    David, Gary I have a set of roofs in HO to modify the Casula FO kit to the earlier cowboy cars so that may be an option for a HO verision a little more unusual.
