    Nice to meet you Will at the show and Uley Junction modeled on Bodmin which is now a preserved railway in real life. At one time the preserved railway served a local industry Fitzgerald Lighting who preferred to ship their products by rail rather than road as they found one good pothole and half the load in a truck was smashed. The preserved line runs from Bodmin General to turn left and run down to Bodmin Parkway station on the west of England mainline or turns right out of Bodmin and runs down to Boscarne Junction the return runs are up steep 1 in 35-40 gradients which is most unusual for a British preserved railway. A stalwart of the line is EX GWR pannier tank 4612. Tim's video channel has a cab ride on both lines.

    I visited Korong Vale in 1981, the yard was full of condemmned rolling stock. One boxcar tore in two during a shunting movement. The overbridge from the platform to Scully’s Hotel was demolished before I visited. The staff had moved out of the station building and into the goods shed. When I walked the town, I thought I saw a few twitching curtains. I did ride on wheat trains on both lines but never rode the DERMS, I had also rode on various specials in the early eighties. There were three stations that had two gate wheels in the signal box, they were Korong Vale A East Ballarat and Mordialloc.

    When I watched the first episode of model railway news I had my doubts and thought "this is fools errand, there isn't enough going on in the Australian model railway scene to have enough content and you would run out if things within 2 months. And besides who would even want to watch?" But wow do I stand corrected! I look forward to each months edition and they get better each time. N scale SAR redhens and 700 class steamer? Never thought i would see the day, amazing stuff! The hobby is supposed to be dead right?

Originally I was going to do just a USA themed setup, inspired by the mountainous region of California I live in but I decided later on that doing something multinational could open more creativity.
