At the same time that York was going off, I arranged an annual Railway Festival in my little village. We had various layouts in a number of community buildings, live steam train rides, helicopter joyflights, market stalls etc. Our little village of Murrurundi, was an important railway town in the late 1800's through to the mid 20thC. Our fellow forum member Bill O'Connell is the first US visitor here.

Need more photos. Sounds like a great time, even helicopter rides. Not sure of the layout photos above but would be nice to see more of it. Looks like some nice detail. Thanks for sharing. Nick T
Great idea - would love to see more pics as well as the layout looks great!
Sounds like a lot of fun.

"Murrurundi" love those names down under....btw am i seeing a GE BNSF on the mainline?
That coal drag is pretty nice. A handsome engine, 2-6-2?, interesting coal cars and one heck of a caboose.
Dave, good show. Can you tell us a bit about the green engine. Being an old helicopter squadron guy, I am curious what was flying.
It looks like Ross Switches made it to your neighborhood. Good deal.
Very nice Dave! YORK down under!
