Brilliant shots and some great models in there! What scale is it? I'm guessing HO. Is it a home layout?
Cheers,
John

NO, NO, NO TBR, you can't have a NSW 81 Class loco on tram tracks - the rivet counters won't like it! :lol:

What brand is the Y Class - detail at front looks good.

And are those trams motorised?

The 81 is sitting on what was the tramway museum but is now a disused Siding (and since the photo the track has "Rusted")

The Y Class Is From Austrains

And B7 I will post one when i clean it up. rather messy at the moment :twisted:

Because the 81 Class diesel is either from Powerline, or I think that Austrains did use the european style couplers. And I have seen Austrains models around that include an alternative coupler.

PaintworK: TBR, are those models (81 & Spirit Of Progress looking cars) repainted?

the only painted Rolling stock is what you call the Spirit Of progress car, Although not intended as one its actually a Modified South African Carriage it's similar to a Harris! (although only 2 doors either side)

At the moment i have 2 transition Cars One being a Container Flat with the Life Like Coupler and a Kadee, and one with a Lima "dunny seat" and a Kadee,, The 81 will be converted to Kadee when i get the chance

I Also have a Budd Car, although last seen in Admet Livery, is at a "Outsourced Workshop" Being made into a NSW Budd

The "harris" Alot of work is needed on this, there is usually a Pantograph on it to :P
Also a very Shocking Bus to the left, (10 points for Naming the company) And the XPT to the right
