Bilby Beach returns from Hibernation

After over two years since leaving Basel, Bilby Beach has returned from storage and has found a new home in Sydney.

Having a new train room is a real blessing. It came about as a result of discussing that we would one day like to use the office room owned by one of our neighbours to use as a model train room. The room would in the same block as ourselves but we didn't need to move.

Voila! A new train room, conveniently called "Cremorne Point Railway Station"

The room is huge it measures approx. 6 metres long and 3 metres wide. After over a month of clearing out the room with items that were previously held in storage the train room is starting to take shape.

The train room will hopefully not only incorporate a railway layout and work area but also a place where the kids can play.

Here are some photos

After considerable effort to try and rejoined the two baseboards of Bilby Beach and with some of the other limitations of the layout, Bilby Beach will be retired in its current form.

I wish to create a new layout based on Sydney, however, part of Bilby beach will be used temporarily for both Gen and Lukas to play with as well as testing the DCC locomotives until the new layout will commence, a name has yet to be decided.

The train room will hopefully not only incorporate the new layout and work area but also a place where the kids can play.
