These are my personal ideas on the model railway hobby and my layout "Brolgan Road". No guarantee that my ideas are right! I am a jack of all trades and master of none. The topics are mostly illustrated with photos (a thousand words etc.) Brolgan Road is a corruption of the name of the small station Brolgan on the Western Line between Parkes and Broken Hill. It was the second 'station' from Parkes and was close to Goobang Signal Box near where we lived, although long gone now. |
