Passed a significant milestone today with the first train (CPH 12) operating over the line under its own power.
This was followed by 3813 running light engine.
Very chuffed (if you'll pardon the pun)!
Cheers

This blog documents the progress of a finescale model railway layout based on the locality of Kingsvale, NSW, on the Blayney-Cowra-Demondrille line, circa 1953. Kingsvale is a fruit growing area and is the first station from Demondrille when heading north towards Cowra. It is the only crossing loop between Demondrille and Young. Demondrille is on the main south and was the location of extensive railway infrastructure including a coal bunker to service locomotives on the main line.
3813! I never saw one of *them* at Kingsvale... ;)
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Prior to that, in DC mode, I ran my new VR B60 along the line. Definitely off to a bad start for prototypical running!

Thanks, Shaik.
ReplyDeleteCraig, for your benefit, the LFXs are, of course, wonderful. Starting to think I should have one more! Of course I won't really know until I try to put them together, but just picking through all the little packages in the box is a delight. The instructions are also very nicely done.
It really is a spectacular achievement; the detail is beautiful and Mike really has thought through the design and options very well. It's going to make all my other rolling stock look ordinary.
Given the price of some of the rtr models these days, and the effort Mike has put into these over many, many years, $195 is cheap!
What's Mike going to do with himself now?
Cheers
