I always wanted to have a bridge of some sort on my layout. This 'feature' allows one to depart from that flat look table top scene. So this afternoon, I put into action my thoughts. This is a very first draft of the bridge I am looking at modeling - although I initially thought of modeling a trestle type bridge.
Well here it is - not too bad although alot more scenery work to do to make it some what convincing.

Well I'm still working on a track plan - now it is based on Dimboola! This gives me an opportunity to run the Bs and S, as well as an X when I get one.
Also, since all trains stopped there for a crew change, this could be used as yet another 'operation' point. Moreover, according to the mid 1970s Working Time Table (WTT), a roadside goods would originate and terminate here. Dimboola also has a loco facility so depicting some loco tracks would add to operation. The branch line to Japarit could also use a Road Side and a DERM. So quite some potential there.
And for a little variety, SAR rollingstock would be seen in the mix of interstate 'jets'. Another dream layout or will this be the final one? Let's see...
Anyway I leave you guys with a Y class on a RoadSide Goods coming into 'Dinboola'.
