I do apologize for being so slack.
Sadly Argyle is still sitting in storage, but hopefully space should be made by the end of the year.
I have added a few new locos to the fleet, the Kaleen exhibition saw to that lol.
The Goulburn model rail club attended Kaleen again this year with there layout of Binabeen.
With other commitments I sadly was not available to help as an exhibitor with them.
Sadly Binabeen suffered some damage in transport and as a result was only operating at half its capacity. It has been put back up at the club and will spend quite a while undergoing major repairs.
As well as this the local hobby store here in Goulburn Morton Brothers Jaycar and hobbys (formally toyworld) located on Auburn Street opposite Belmore park is now stocking Austrians products.
Making it the closest retailer to the ACT stocking any Aussie HO scale trains. If business goes well with this the store owners have mentioned they may look to expand beyond just Austrains. So support is greatly encouraged. The more interest in the trains they get the more they will stock.
Now on to what you all want to see, the new additions.
Adding more to the electric fleet with two new 46 class. As everyone knows you can't just have one.
Also the pride jewel of the NSW railway the big green girl herself 3801.
A great find at Kaleen From Austrains, 35class on sale! how could I resist.
As well as yet another Austrains 81, making 3 now. With more to come no doubt.
Always a pleasure dealing with John Essy.
Ron Cunningham had me sold the moment I found R707. While not a NSW loco still an amazing model. Besides it will keep the streamlined S class company for my growing VR loco fleet.
Lastly the way and works set, one of the first products our local shop brought in. With every yard needing a works train it was a must have for the Argyle layout.
With the pockets now empty I will have to start saving for the Exhibition at Thornlee in a few months. I will have to make sure I am not so slack and make another entry again soon.
