Gulgong: February 2012
http://gulgong.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 28, 2012. The railway dam, now has the pumphouse, intake arrangment and water in place. The SM's house is just about finished. A few figures and bits and pieces need adding, thats all. 4711 slumbers in the carriage shed at Gulgong during shunting operations. A few of the items around the yard at Gulgong. I have decided to do what I can to present a under construction layout but certain areas will be completed. I hope! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Gundagai Model Rail Layout. MODELLING THE...

Gulgong: June 2014
http://gulgong.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 25, 2014. Modelling the Railways of NSW convention 31. So I have returned from the MRNSW 31 after giving my talk on this years subject from me Branxton railway station history. I have been building Gulgong for the past 10 years and I realise that I enjoy building the layout more than I enjoy running the trains. I guess driving the real things at work beats driving the model form. So Gulgong's time as my home layout may soon be coming to an end and this is the reason I have begun r...I hav...

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...

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...

Gulgong: April 2013
http://gulgong.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 20, 2013. A bit of fun post. Years ago I bought some SV sides and ends off Casula and the plan was to build some bogie sheep vans on top of TRC floors, basically the kit bash that Joe sold years ago and it became one of those projects that "I will get around to one day". That day never came because firstly there was the bogie sheep van kits available form MiniModels and then nowadays from Eureka so the packets of sides and ends would end up going to waste. So firstly I cut up the sides fo...

Tuesday, March 12, 2013. Newcastle Regional Show for another year. Well we have just had our display again at the Newcastle Regional Show and this year was a little disappointing as far as people through the model train pavilion was concerned. The weather was actually not very kind to the whole show. Rain Rain Rain. One day these guys will finish painting the SM's house. They have only been going for 6 years. The road to old man Browns house. Cheers until next time and I will try to ppost more often.

http://gulgong.blogspot.com/2013/09/gulgong-stockyards-completion.html
Saturday, September 7, 2013. Well after a few weeks of work and fitting in bouts of building in between working away, I have finally installed the stockyards in there location on Gulgong. Following are some photos I have taken after they where installed and after I grassed the areas around them. Just need a light pole and a few bushes around the perimeter and oh yeh a couple of gates and they will be completely complete. Testing the location before fixing into place. Add a couple of wagons!
