This layout is the combined effort of many members who use form one to a few modules and assemble the layout to produce a workable HO gauge layout. Each module is a scene on its own but connects to other modules to form the whole layout. It can be small or very large depending on how many modules are included.
Rockfall siding is a 009 gauge layout built within the confines of a 500*800mm suitcase. All the scenery elements, landscape, trees, rocks and even some of the sheep are scratch built from card, papier-mache and plaster. Buildings are cardboard constructions and the figurines are hand painted. I have added a fold down front to the case, as I want the layout to be bound by the suitcase and allow the scenery elements to draw the eye out to the horizon, rather than lifting the layout board out of the case. The suitcase is the scene, not just the mode of transport.

The steam loco kits are all from the Smallbrook Studio range. The coaches are also Smallbrook kits and the freight stock is a mostly scratch built from cardboard on old Hornby chassis.

The layout is based on Victorian Railways 2'6" narrow gauge practice and we decided to represent a fictitious section of the line that could have been part of the Ferntree Gully -Gembrook railway. Scenery required a lot of work, as most of the buildings and trees are made from scratch. Built and created by Geoff Dupree, David Wheelan and Mike Tampion.

This layout is the combined effort of many members who use form one to a few modules and assemble the layout to produce a workable N gauge layout. Each module is a scene on its own but connects to other modules to form the whole layout. It can be small or very large depending on how many modules are included.

2 Mile creek depicts a timber cutting settlement in the 1920's. All buildings are scratch built, and the layout shows the elements of an operating saw milling operation. A great amount of time was spent creating a lifelike image of the era.
Billabong Flat represents a branch line in extremely remote country Victoria during the early 1970s. The layout follows Victorian Railways practice and depicts the end of the branch line with a small station yard, goods shed, and engine shed. The layout is a demonstrates one of the main advantages on N scale - the possibility to provide interesting operations in a small space. We feature Australian trains and during the exhibition you will see a variety of trains running, primarily Victorian but at times New South Wales and South Australian equipment.
This is a freelance design of a railroad next to a bay, supposedly where there is a large shark. built with relative ease. It is all digital and run by an NCE controller which has two main tracks. It shows how a basic layout can be.
