What happened to the Whistle? Stop? Why did it close?
@neilblinco1213
@neilblinco1213 Күн бұрын
A disproportionate escalation in the costs of Insurance premiums in the early 2000's contributed to the closure of this operation making it less viable to continue for the owner

Almost everything you see on these layouts including the trains are a mixture of scratch builds and kits by produced by individuals within the WA Sn3.5 modelling group. Some kits (mostly wagons) are available on a random basis though it is subject to the people who create them. Locomotive kits in small batches have been produced over the years but are primarily limited run editions and just occasionally, although rare, can be found 2nd hand. Basically you have to build it, with almost nothing much available ready to run.

Yup its a bit of slow TV but it is a BRAND NEW railway and the very first real train on it, so slow was the requirement - to be fair the slow speed did allow me to get ahead of it to other locations that would have otherwise been unobtainable when normal services commence at high track speeds.

I remember Whistlestop Miniature Railway, in it's heyday it was very popular with the kids (including the grown up ones!!). I remember going there as a teenager in about 2003. So sad to hear that it closed down. I can still remember the TV ad jingle, "All aboard for Whistlestop, on the Vasse Highway near Busselton..." Grainy Google Earth imagery shows the deterioration of the site over the past 15-20 years :( ... Memories...

What a shame she is now sitting in a shed going nowhere with little or no hope of ever running mainline passenger services again.We really need a rethink on mainline access for tourist/heritage rail here in Western Australia.If it can be done over East I am sure we can do it here.All we need is somebody with some balls to allow this to happen.We are seriously missing out over here with no mainline tour trains at all. Way past time for change.

Limited demand from time poor travelers who would choose the shorter journeys rather than the day trip was the main reason - not enough return to justify the costs of maintenance over the length of the line. Nature would soon take over.

861 was built by Couillet in Belgium in 1886, with the builders number of 861. The current owner modified her to look like an early US loco because that's what he wanted. The original look was almost exactly like Carbon (builders number 986).

I have cleaned and re-lubricated the silver tab, however it still isnt engaging 100% of the time. I am yet to take off the other plastics around centre console to further inspect; however I know know its just a small tab contact and not the shifter mechanism! THANKYOU

Now its going to be modern and ugly.like the picadilly arcade,that's now has a tiny walking area,but the shops are twice as big. The art deco was brilliant before,now its dark and dinghy.
