SAR Southern Division – June 23 Update
Hopefully this week will see the pouring of the cement slab. for the shed. The shed kit is due for delivery on 29 June and I am hoping it will be erected the following week.. The shed is a 11m x 4m steel shed from Shed King in Lonsdale. Once erected it will be lined with insulation and gyprock, power applied and of course AC added.
I am hoping I can turn the first sod on the SAR Southern Division in early August.
In the meantime I have been busy designing the new layout on Anyrail and Sketchup. Additionally I have been thinking about what trains should run. I have determined that due to seismic shifts in the tectonic plate in Central West Victoria, the line between Horsham and Kaniva has been destroyed, so all traffic between Melbourne and Adelaide will travel through the Southern Division, including the famous Overland Passenger Service and Freight Jets. The branch line to Millicent will be represented with Apcel Paper at Snuggery added. The VR will operate from a hidden Staging at Heywood but the town of Dartmoor will be modelled. The layout is planned service towns with passenger and parcels traffic, general cargo, grain silos, livestock and fuel traffic. Two features of the layout will be the Murray River crossing at Murray Bridge and a classic VR Trestle Bridge when leaving Dartmoor.
The SAR Lines are planned as follows:
Adelaide Staging > Upper Sturt > Bridgewater > Murray Bridge > Wirrega > Blue Lake. The Snuggery Branch runs Blue Lake > Tantanoola > Snuggery > Millicent Staging under Adelaide.
The VR Lines are as follows:
Heywood Staging > Dartmoor > Blue Lake. The final section runs underneath Bridgewater on hidden track.
The Room Layout is proposed
