For any one interested in reading my little news letter "The Monday Night Mail Train" it should be attached to this post for a short while. 

splitrock323's comment on my last post has inspired me to try to share information about my layout and its operating system.

Firstly I am a 69 year old retired ice manufacturer and live in South Australia with my wife and two Jack Russel terriers. We have two grown children and two grandsons.

After missing August the Kanunda and Emu Flat Railway hosted an operating session for six operators on the ninth of September 2013. Every one enjoyed the session and the rains ran well. Here are a few photos and for more information please read the attached news letter while you can.

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.
