Another Quick Update...

Hello again. Remembering that last year i posted the fact that I would be modelling Ourimbah in HO scale as my layout, my dad and I came to a realization that we had found a better place to model. We have decided to instead model the country town of Dunedoo and i will be uploading the photos of the construction within the coming months.

RTM's New Years Eve Aurora

He fellow trackers. Sorry that this post is a tad late but I managed to capture the New Years Eve Aurora, arriving and departing from Central Station. The Loco's that hauled the train were 4490, 4916 and 44211.



Here there are just arriving on Platform 1 at Central


the 44, the 49 and the Jumbo


The 442 getting ready to reverse around the train


The front car of the Aurora has now become the end car for the return journey


The locos getting ready to come back around the train


The long silver ribbon of Aurora carriages


Here the locos are slowly backing onto the train.


Just as the signal turns and the train begins to depart, I managed to capture the jumbo doing what it does best... making clouds of fumes!
I have uploaded the videos of the Aurora to my youtube account for viewing. here is the address. http://www.youtube.com/user/greggles3801?feature=mhee#p/u/2/WnvW_9yCIa8  Cheers and Enjoy.
