Leaving Campbelltown, the train crosses Bow Bowing Creek, before the challenge at the heavy up hill climbs ahead.
Bow Bowing Creek.
Something which kept us wondering was why the locos, especially steam, always ran forward to Camden. Then I found it was because when the loco commenced it's climb up the steep grades, the water would end up at the wrong end of the boiler.
Along the way the train passes "Model Farm" where a Model Aero Club meets to fly their model air planes. Some were successful at it, some not so successful. (See second photo). However they still enjoyed their time together, so it appears.

End of lockdown and the party starts.
Note Tommy, with his radio controlled boat on the pond.
Poor Tommy lost control of his boat, when the antenna fell off, seen floating on the water. After passing the farm, the train crosses what was the old "Hume Highway" before entering Narellan. I need some "Wigwag" signals for the highway traffic if you have some clues.
