Kangaroo Valley Operator's Manual

Submitted by stephe.jitts on Tue, 14/10/2008 - 20:32.

Introduction

Welcome to Kangaroo Valley Historical Railway.

KVHR is an operational railway. Railways by their very nature need to run trains. Many model railways address the modelling aspects well and neglect the operational aspects and end up with trains simply being run, often in circular ‘chase-your-tail’ fashion. This manual outlines an operational procedure for KVHR so as to increase the pleasure of running trains. It attempts to introduce simplified prototypical-like operational procedures.

Hurstville 2007 - A Member's Perspective

Submitted by allegheny on Wed, 12/12/2007 - 22:29.

On Friday, 28th September, a number of club members made their way to Hurstville, to give 12th Street Yard its second outing under DCC.

Fran and I took the scenic route via the Barton Highway and Yass to collect Stephe’s rotary DCC controllers, so as to enable a greater degree of control of the switching yards. After a pleasant cup of tea at Stephe’s, we had planned to meet up with the remainder of the advance/setting up party, but when we contacted Michael Schumacher (AKA Robin) we discovered that he and his passengers (Graham, Mark and Ron) were about 90 minutes in front of us, so we gave up any idea of a reunion. Instead we made our way via Appin, Waterfall and Heathcote to check in to the Sutherland Motel, which was our accommodation for the weekend.
