The Layout
Wombat Hollow
Based on the northern line between, Narara and Wyong, partially prototypical but with many freelance features. I lived in the area and decided to model the line where I lived.
Layout Description
The Main North on the central coast serving freight operation between 1945 and 1985.
Some stations modelled, Narara, Lisarow, Niagara Park, Ourimbah. Dual line, Up and Down. Freight and passenger operation, both diesel and steam.
Branch line from upper level near Tuggerah, rises to a third level.
Industry on east side of main line, not connected to main line until Wombat Hollow needed industry to create a line with a purpose.
