Campbelltown

Campbelltown is where the Camden Line started from, and a short distance South it turned away from the main line and headed west to Camden. It was seperate to the Main Line. In the following pictures I have only modelled the Branch Line side of Campbelltown's Up Main Platform, because I am not running Main Line Trains. I have installed a point from the "Dead End" representing the connection to the Up Main Line from the Yard. This dead end still needs to have a building made to represent "Dairy Farmers Milk". 

I have just recently obtained some pictures from the Campbelltown "N" Gauge Layout in AMRM April 2006, built by Mick Lovell, of what the building may have looked like. At least it gives me some idea of where I'm heading, and thank you Mick.

The Loco shed also needs to have a building for the Loco Crew's "Sign on Room" and Foreman's Office, and a fuel tank on a stand to refuel the Diesel Loco's. Especially now with the new addition. Again, thank you Mick.

Campbelltown Station

Campbelltown, The 41 Class waits for next move.
It appears the shunters have all gone to lunch.

The Coal trains awaits the departure of the passenger.
(An early photograph)

The Coal train (41 Class) cannot depart until the passenger trains arrives in clear at Narellan Station. This is why it is only a "One train operation", as it was in real life. 
A new addition was added (gifted to me, yesterday) for Camden. X212, They were trialed on the Camden Branch but was unsuccessful in it's attempt to climb "Kenny Hill". Imagine it with an "S" truck. 
I was supprised what this little loco could pull, when I coupled it up to my yard full of wagons.

X212 Shunter.

I still need some figurines to fill Campbelltown Yard as shunters and maybe others, but they are hard to find, especially to suit this layout.
