VICTORIA_STREET: On the road @ Sunshine

On the road @ Sunshine

Roughly every first weekend in August, the Sunshine Model Railway Club conduct their exhibition at the Braybrook Secondary college (High School) hall.
For the last two years I have disassembled and recreated Victoria Street on site at this exhibition.

here are a few photos...

Thanks for sharing some excellent pictures of Victoria Street. Sadly living in WA at the moment, haven't had the chance to see Victoria Street at the Sunshine show :( but it's nice to see it in pictures here. Keep up the great work!

VICTORIA_ST

A small model tramway layout loosely based on the Melbourne Metropolitan Tramway Board (MMTB). OO scale with a few HO blow ins, now running DCC for prototypical tight headways and lighting options.

Originally set up as a test track, like all layouts it evolved into some thing more, with a slight west suburban slant towards its location.

The modules are only 57cm long by 19cm deep, now there are seven modules, (railway station and racecourse, the original modules), another module is the undecorated fiddle yard ( now the Ammo Factory module), and the two later modules are (the railway gates and the bend, Epsom Rd), plus the latest instalments (The Junction and the Depot).

Victoria St can run as an end of line tramway, a heritage/regional (SEC) line, and a shuttle passenger service with short shunting at the station to service extra punters for the racecourse to a time table run to a 3:1 .

Enjoy, Glenn
