Adelaide show 2019

It is most unusual to report on new developments from Adelaide, but SDS models were in attendance, with models of their retooled NR class and an 81 class sitting quietly at the back of their stand. The NR models were handed painted indigenous livery models from the new tooling. The course rear steps have been replaced with etched brass, the long hood side steps have been relocated to their correct position, and the air tanks are now modeled in the full and not half relief as on the Austrains tooling. Also, the cab has been completely redone to be of more correct appearance. A new control board has been developed to allow extra functions, like flashing ditch lights.

 

Called black and white, a military world war 2 inspired layout, the only colour was the peace VW van.

Running the Gauntlet, from the Kangaroo and Cockatoo Railway stable.

N scale Morgan, based on the line to Morgan on the Murray River. Built to T Track rules of individual modules.

Don Moyses' Crystal Brook (Warnertown End). Unfortunately the far end had been water damaged from over night condensation, resulting in reduced operation as Don and crew tried to obtain fully running.

The goods shed from Black River, based on a town between Adelaide and Melbourne, servicing the timber industry. Almost has a Tasmanian feel to it.

Murray Bridge.

Black Springs, a switching layout set in spring time.

Westcombe Junction, a fictitious Great Western main line layout.
