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...

"Just give me a moment, and I'll finish this bit of shunting"

"Am I wearing something of yours, mate?"

Managed to get a few moments to knock up a video of Victoria Street, as it currently is at the minute. So sit back and lose a few minutes and above all, enjoy.

The Victoria Street Gates

Another part of the works on Victoria Street has been the crossing square/level crossing, after obtaining some stauchions, I've finally managed to hang the rest of the overhead, here are a few photos of the works in progress.

The stauchion are up, now for the wires

all the joy of soldering and threading beads is done!

WORKS ON_THE GO

It has been a few weeks since I started the Victoria St blog and some work has taken place, the overhead is now in place on the bend, and the dodgy point on the station crossover has been replaced

some fun and games during the trackworks

(in days before hi-vis, traffic management and OH&S)

The trolley wire on the bend.

Have a fair bit of work planned, stay tuned.

Get on board..

Well, this is the first time I've done this sort of thing, the 'Victoria Street' blog intends to be an online history of the layout and may include updates as time and family allows, it will not be the definitive guide to having a crack at modeling tramways, but will offer my tips, knowledge, and humour to the process. 

Enjoy the blog, as we all enjoy our own little domains, powered by twelve volts, our place of quiet contemplation and meditation.

regards Glenn

P.S. stick around, there will be an entire back catalogue of photos shortly.
