Australia Day

What a difference a couple of days can make. The track laying gang is heading off for a break and will be back to lay two more sidings when their location can be agreed upon. The weeds have still to grow although a few buildings have grown quickly.

The sub terrain crew has been busy rolling out the cables to get things going. They worked so hard that all the work has been done and there were only two bugs to sort out and kill. Just as the sun was setting in the west and before the fireworks an A class arrived on a test run. Note the new hotel that was built by the night shift

It quickly disappeared and came back with a goods train. That was followed by a Y class hauled pass train from Melbourne. It didn't stay long before it left on its return run

The construction crew are having a couple of days off in appreciation of their enthusiastic work

The Next Day

As the bare earth was cooling and before weeds were invented suddenly a track laying gang appeared. This was the starting point for the branch restoration. The two points set the mood for the rapid advancement of the connection to the outside world . The next picture shows that important event

Then all of a sudden two items of rolling stock blew on on a north easter from NSW as test equipment . The track gang had been busy continuing to lay track so that by the end of the day a lot had been achieved. The next two photos round out the day


It will be exciting days ahead.

Creation

Southern Cement has just built a new cement plant in southern Victoria (Australia). Fortunately it was located at a closed VR branch line to North Mirboo resulting in a reopening of the line and introduction of general freight and passenger services. There will be a photo essay of the model and its development until the line closes. Keep coming back for updates

In five days the earth was made and ready for life. When it gets dark then the great sky lights brightens the place up




Now get ready for the first signs of life (Forget Adam & Eve they just don't rate)


On the next day appeared the Cement works building and a passenger train ready to make its first run. The landscapers are running way behind schedule.

Everything is ready for the big expansion tgay tuned
