Well it's been 12 months since I purchased my first locomotive (Austrains T375) and I began from scratch. Since then, alot has been achieved.
- Benchwork
- Erection of Shed and concreting
- Layout Design (about 50 plans were created)
- Track layed out and then ripped up and relayed to its final form
- Signalling circuitry completed
- About 30 pieces of rolling stock bought, constructed, and painted (no decals as yet applied)
- Six Locomotives purchased namely, B75, B67, T375, Y164, T357 and S311 (Don't think I need anymore)
- Some track painted
- ANE Point motors installed onto 6 points - still to do about 4 more.
- Final Layout plan settled on.
- All track have feeder wires.
- Bus wiring layed out.
Current RollingStock:
Maybe the next 12 months, I may see the following completed:
- All track ballasted
- All track painted
- Grass and Trees
- Signalling Completed
- SEMs BW cars constructed and painted - looking to do at least 4
- US Tank Cars modified and painted accordingly
- Decals applied to rolling stock (hate this job!)
- A station constructed and painted
- A Goods Shed constructed and painted
- Probably some more SEM freight wagons constructed
I think the most difficult parts, laying track, track plans, building benchwork are behind me.
