O gauge Z class tram on a model tramway at the Melbourne
Exhibition Buildings during a philatelic exhibition - Stampshow '89. Trams
were a theme as Australia Post had released tram stamps at the time. This
display had been exhibited at the Royal Melbourne Show in the past.

Train Hobby VR L class electric loco on a small diorama I
built for selling models on eBay. |

Lima C-38 Bicentennial train locomotive on the same diorama. |

Thomas shunts a vengeful wagon on the siding of my revolving
N scale layout. More on this layout later. These items were repainted by me
and used on a small layout at Sale Cinema when the Thomas and the Magic
Railroad movie was released. |

Busy street corner on my Underground Railway diorama (a
street corner with the subway stairs disappearing under the footpath). This
was a joke model for a modeling competition. |
 |
Modified Powerline G2 model emerging from under a road
bridge. The layout was actually a British prototype module. But it's not so
obvious in this shot. |
 |
British Railways 0-6-0T on the same layout. This was an old
layout with Lima steel track that I rebuilt with Peco Nickle-Silver rail and
eventually resold. |

Scene on my O scale layout using N and Z scale trains to
represent a miniature passenger-carrying railway. A model of a model if you
will. While I intended the N to represent 7 1/4" gauge and the Z to look
like 5" gauge trains, the reality is more like the N being 15" gauge and Z
for 7 1/4".

Pedestrian view of a street on my O scale layout. |

Another view of the same street. |

Small details such as footpaths, driveways, kerbing (with
drain) and true-to-life road markings are often left out, but as seen here,
go a long way to making an urban scene more realistic. |
 |
This road came out a little 'muddier' than I intended. It
was made from Polyfilla and a car run over it before it dried. |

Locomotive at the unusual 6.5" gauge private Foster Creek
Railway at Jumbunna, Vic. Scanned photo. |
 |
An old Hales Creek Railway locomotive which was one of those
responsible for the unusual gauge I believe.

Here's a corner of a large
British N scale layout I owned until 1985. Sort of wish I'd kept it today.
