Rob B's “Hunter” Layout

Well, here it is, my contribution to the world of model railways, warts and all, ladies and gentlemen.

Located in a single car garage (car got evicted ages ago) with not much space, the problem we all have.

Single main track, NSW scenery… or as good as NSW as my talents allows.

Very little area for shunting, simply because I like to see trains running, and run they do.

All of the named express trains run through the Hunter line, like The Southern Aurora, Brisbane Limited and The Flyer… why does that happen?  Quite simply because it’s my layout and I want them to… (I love and grew up with the NSWGR express trains thanks to my grandfather)

This is a DCC system with all tracks code 83, which initially was a mistake as I originally wanted code 100, but took the wrong box of track when I brought it at Barnes… No big deal, it works well.

Everyone is welcome to look if you wish, I reckon we all learn skills from each other.

So, if you want to visit, just let me know.
