Why did I decide to model the Camden Line. This is my third layout since we moved here 20 Years ago. I have a passion for disused Rail Lines and Camden sounded good as I didn't need much track (and space) and only one train with little rolling stock, so I thought !! and it would be easy to dismantle when the time comes.
Well the first thing is, what does Camden layout contain. It starts from Campbelltown which is on the left of the picture in my first Blog, and this is where the Branch Line started in reality, and then the next stop is Narellan, then onto Camden. I have only modelled what the main purpose of the line was for, and the main stations along the line that serve that purpose. It was for the removal of coal from Burragorang Valley and dairy produce from the Camden area. More on this later. How does the layout operate ?? Well it was going to be DCC but as it is a one train at a time line, DC would be a better way to go. I will explain the operation in my next blog as it is very complicated (for me anyway).
