Hi All,

This here is a blog, that will follow the development of my new exhibition layout, based on the prototype location of Bridgewater in the Adelaide Hills. Originally, this station was a terminus for suburban services over the steeply graded Mt Lofty Ranges, east of Adelaide, however with the opening of a new freeway, allowing commuters to travel to Adelaide in less than 20 minutes, the passenger services were cut back to Belair (on the Adelaide side of the ranges).

I'm planning to use 1/4" thick Homasote roadbed on the mainline of my layout, and with track down at the base (tabletop) level for the sidings, yards, etc.  The roadbed I've used thus far is the Homabed product produced by California Roadbed Company.  I really like the product, but have decided not to order any more due to the incredibly bad communication skills of the owner.  So I'm going to try manufacturing my own using Craig Bisgeier's method.

I have built the Walthers Cornerstone car float kit 933-3152. The car float apron kit 933-3068 is unavailable. Can anyone provide track details from this apron such that I can build my own apron..?

We have just had the June operating session on the Kanunda and Emu Flat railway.
