Hello to everyone who is modelling in G scale, I have just started my adventure into this scale after years of N, then Z, then HO. Most of my Z and N scale trains are Pennsylvania, and I have a number of loco's in HO that are Pennsy, but most of my HO gear is the local WAGR / Westrail ( Western Australian Government Railways ) wagons and loco's, most of which aren't around any more. Except for a couple of wagons all of my G scale rolling stock is again Pennsy.
I have also just started work on my round the sheds outdoor layout with some earthworks to try and keep the track reasonably level, as I do like to run lots of wagons on a train. Unfortunately do to the setup of my sheds in the backyard some of the track will be temporary, just the bits at the entrances to my sheds, as I don't fancy driving my cars over the track. To start with I will have a mix of track power and radio control, with a long crossing loop down the fence line so I can run 2 trains at a time.
I should be receiving my first batch of rails and sleepers in the next week or so, and then the fun begins with rolling out the curves, the minimum radius being 8ft.
