The theming on this club layout is great. Nice and diverse. I can see English and American things there in addition to Australian. Australia, America and England all in one that's exactly what I want to do with my home layout as far as theming. Looks like Auscision will be releasing a model next month that I've been eagerly anticipating. Their CL Class models. I would've started on that home layout project already if I hadn't been driven out of my home by the latest round of California wildfires a month ago. Heck I was literally going to start laying down the track the day that the fire was started (intentionally started by a crazy arsonist, that's what really gets under my skin), so instead I ended up boxing up my trains, among other things and monitoring the situation, so when I ended up leaving, I brought all my trains with me so they're safe.

In the southern NSW town of Griffith there's a old plane mounted on a high support in the main street. The propeller even rotates when the wind blows.

Awesome video Nicholas. It was nice talking to you there. It was a lot of fun there and great purchases too. But i was shocked when i saw the price on one of the wagons. But as you sed it was brass and rare. But i don't think i still would pay that much for a wagon. But it does looks nice.

Thanks Jai it was nice to catch up with you again. I will be honest I was kind of 50/50 as to if I should buy the wagon or not but I'm glad I did now that I know how difficult they are to get a hold of.

Neat work Nicholas, going to look great. Funny, I thinking when you originally mentioned a retaining wall, that concrete was another option! Plenty of examples around the burbs for you to study 🙂
@NicholassTrainChannel
@NicholassTrainChannel 26 күн бұрын
Thanks Richard. I'm looking forward to completing the hillside. I have had a think about the retaining wall lately and I decided I will go with a concrete one as I have never done a concrete retaining wall before on the layout even on previous layouts. I'll no doubt do some research to see what style I like the best.

I really do want to get down to Australia to visit one of these exhibitions at some point in future. Because I live in the USA I’m concerned about international shipping costs when it comes to buying authentic Australian model railway stuff. Just as my grandfather personally hand carried authentic German model train stuff back to America long ago I’d be more than willing to do it with Australian stuff. AU is already in my top 3 of countries overseas I want to see as it is.

Thanks mate. there are quite a lot of exhibitions that happen in Australia each year. I have only been to exhibitions in Melbourne but I would love to attend some in other states as well. I would love to see what exhibitions in the USA are like. As for importing things it would be the same for me if I was to import a model from the USA to AUS.

I just picked one up off of eBay this week wearing the older Blue and Yellow Victorian railways livery. I think I got value for my dollar with this one. I’d always wanted a B Class. Maybe not as detailed as Auscision but the Lima model will definitely serve my needs.

Super happy with the new rolling stock especially the prices I got them for. Some of them need some work but I'll get it done soon.
