2020_05_28 Al Day Thursday more track?

2020_05_28  Almost all track down?


You can see Al was not going to have a painless day of it. The track is at the back board and the top level is in the way.


The track along the wall, is SG and was used by NSW shunters to combine trains arriving from Melbourne and because of space limitations I am going to add a BG track in the space between, to simulate transfer of wagon loads between gauges.





to the right of the bottle the BG track points lead to the new transfer roads.
The point work is from SG make up road and leads to SG wagon storage.


BG refers to broad gauge track which was the Victorian Railways standard of 5 ft 3 inches. and SG refers to the NSW standard gauge of 4 ft 8 1/2 inches. Here simulated by running code 100 track for all SG track and Paco code 75 for all BG track. The only place on this whole layout that a SG or BG train can transfer to the other gauge is the Coal Sidings Bogie Exchange roads.
