CoastalRev's Jamberoo Railway in N Scale

Well folks, today there was no progress on the railway (some of us do actually work for a living!), but I couldn't resist the opportunity for a 'photo shoot' in the railway yard at Jamberoo station.

Usually my locos face with the #1 end facing the buffer stops (ie, the DOWN direction) but I turned them around today.



So lined up we have my three NSW-outline diesels: from left to right, 70xx (still to be painted and numbered), 4421 and 4520.

They each had a lengthy train worked -- and shunted -- properly:


The 45's train came out first and, after running around, shunted into the goods siding out of the way.

The 70's train was next, again it ran around before shunting temporarily up onto the Freddos' siding.



Finally the 44 came out with my remaining Rapido-coupler-equipped stock and ran into the main. I rearranged some of the wagons and put the caboose on the other end before the whole thing was reassembled onto the run-around loop.

70xx's train then came back out of Freddos' siding and reversed onto the main.

I like eye-level shots - we don't look at real trains from afar, do we?

But this shot was taken by a fit young lad climbing up a power pole:


We finished the shoot with a shot of the noses of the locos, lined up, with Alwyn Fredericks' house seen atop the highest point in Macquarie St, Jamberoo.
