I send out the attachment as an e-mail to thank those who come to operating sessions on the Kanunda & Emu Flat Railway. Also to those who could not make the session and to former operators and friends. 

The Monday night mail train is also a record of progress on my layout.

I started building the Kanunda and Emu Flat Railway in 2000 as an operating HO scale model railway layout.             I find that operating with appropriate scenery and structures in place is more satisfying that operating on a "plywood pacific". So until recently I have been using temporary structures that I have bought at swap meets or built from kits with little concern to prototype. There are no kits for South Australian line side structures that I know of so I will have to scratch build most of them.

The HO scale Kanunda & Emu Flat Railway is 7.6 m (25') X 3m (10') with minimum radius curves of 600mm (24").    The K&EFR is a freelanced portion of single track mainline in South Australia somewhere between Adelaide and the border with Victoria.

Gday,     I have a tour of my layout on my youtube channel if any one is interested in looking at my effort in portraying a fictional area of railway in South Australia 1980s.

   My layout is called the Kanunda and Emu Flat railway. The K&EF is 25' x 10' and takes up one side of our double garage. I started building it in 2000. The layout uses Lenz DCC.

I was born in the 1940s am married with two grown children and am retired. I started model railroading in 1984. My medium sized layout is in HO scale.
