On these few Pages I`d like to show you around and explain my way of getting around some of the problem I found in my roll of C.M.E. of the Rockingham Railway. There Is experimental Track, and Points that I`ve found Cheaper and in some cases easier to build, They may even be of use to you. So, Fill your Boots!.
This is our new Trackplan update, don`t ask how many more there will be.
Trackplan MK 14 ;-}}.
There is always a beginning after having a failure in my first attempt at a Layout in my Garden, The first Winter sent it packing.i knew I had to get radical in my approach, so I settled in the Slabs all squared up then glued the Concrete Bricks too them, On top of the Bricks I glued a Wooden Saddle to "Teck Screw" the Roofing Plates too!.This gave me the base of a Layout the Wind & Winter could hopefully only do minor damage too..
Here we look North up the side of the House to our Frieght Shed, Behind this is the space reserved for the Companies Turntable, there is a Point "Target" in Orange to the right behind some of those Plants!.`
This scene is at the Northern most section of the Mainline, The is going to be a "Run around Loop" fitted in here very soon! to assist running the track in a "End to End" type mode!.
This Bridge Section is used in between the Mainline North Yards and the Turntable come Water Tank section of Track!.
At this point the Track is headig Southeast towards Chidlows Halt, nothing much here other then the Halt & a Dunny!, A small Water Tank is to be fitted for the Patrons to have a Drink in Summer!.
This is the view from a rear Carrage Platform as we leave Chidlows Halt!.
This is the view North along the new Passing Loop or Engine run around whichever tickles your fancey!.
Still travelling Southeast we approach Wubin Loop, a Small Farming center!.
Wubin Loop is very much like Chidlows Halt!, as far as Facilities go!.
Here we approach the Upper Swan Tunnel, It go`es right thru` the Hills and comes out onto the Sand Plains, It`s dark in there!.
There was a bit in the Paper the other day about a Mining Site around this area soon, might have been a Gravel Pit??!.
Here we are heading East over the Sand Plains towards Midland Junction, Here the Line branches around to the North while the Mainline continues on East towards Wundowie!.
The view is from the Carrage Platform again after leaving that Tunnel!..
This is the Front view of Midland Junction Station, It`s all Brick Built, the old one was Timber and the White Ants stole it!.
This is the New Front view of Midland Junction Station, The new Gardener is getting on with the job!.
This view is West to Midland Station, The Track gang have knocked off for the day, Sunday you know!..
The 3 Ft section for Mower access thru` the Track.
This is the Northward Branch heading from Midland Junction towards Kellaberrin, another Farming Center of some fame hosting a Pumphouse for the Kalgoolie Water Pipe!, this is a 3% grade!.
This view is towards Kellaberrin from the Garage, It`s a 3% downhill run all the way!..
