Barcoola at Caulfield 2011 pt 2

Heres a shot of the new fiddle yard, we had trains up to 32ft long on day two, equal to 850 HO metres. The new light weight yard has made it so much easier to put the layout up.

Steve Munro's CLP and CLF equiped with sound and flashing ditch lights made an appreance to Barcoola on day two, one operator spent some quality time running this job.



JD, a ring in operator, shunts the new extended Barcoola yard.





GM30 & GM32 makes the schooners in the Ginacood Hotel vibrate with the Gin Gin hum from their 567 donks.


We got the FAQs.

Greg from Perth, follows the blog and introduced himself, we had a chat and discussed his favorite prototype SCT. Great to catch up and saying G'day.... I will follow up with a AN tanker article for you.


Enjoy
