CoastalRev's Jamberoo Railway in N Scale

The Railway to Jamberoo was proposed but never built. I like model trains but figured I'd have to give the hobby away as a clergyman with a family. But my wife decided that I needed a hobby (and she found she enjoys it too). So we ditched my HO gear and plunged into N-scale. Since I'm the Anglican minister at Jamberoo we figured we'd build the proposed-but-bever-built Jamberoo Branch Line off the South Coast Line to Nowra. This blogs the progress of it.

March update

Lots of progress on the railway so far!

• The track has been 'rusted'.
• The sleepers have been painted grey in random spots to 'age' them.
• With the help of Phil Badger my Minitrix 0-6-0 diesel shunter has become an as-yet unpainted NSWGR 70 class (thanks Phil!).
• The baseboard was cleaned of all the junk it had accumulated.

Jamberoo 'running sessions' are taking place but all rolling stock still uses the silly Rapido couplers as I haven't gotten around to Kadee-ising everything. And the rolling stock is all overseas stuff except the 70 class and the 6 K-wagons from Aust-N-Rail. I have the TRC ready to roll but it has Kadees. My oil tanker hasn't got any couplings yet!

Next stop: ballasting the track.
