The
"Thoroughbred" ready to Gallop
Turrella Tramway's latest diesel, The " Thoroughbred
" (a shortened version of the NSWGR Silver City Comet Powercar)
is presently undergoing final fit out in the Loco Shed. The model,
built on a spare LGB diesel chassis, is a fictional representation
of the first projected diesel intended for use by the New South Wales
Government Rails in the late 1940's. The prototype was never built,
the Government of the day deciding to buy the first diesels, the 40
Class, from Canada. The Turrella Tramway diesel is painted in the
traditional NSWGR Tuscan livery. The following photos show the "
Thoroughbred " going through its paces on a recent trial
on the tramway. It will shortly be matched with the Indian red set
of passenger cars to form the excursion special the "Coal
Creek Comet".

The
Inkjet Printer Decal Paper -
"What will they think of next?"
I have recently discovered in our local art supply shop single
sheets of Inkjet Printer Clear Decal paper. Not cheap at $4.50 an
A4 sheet but you can get a lot of labels made from one sheet if
you plan it well. It prints easily through your standard inkjet
printer. When its through the printer let it dry for an hour then
seal it with a top coat of acrylic permanent matt finish spray.
Leave for 3 hours. Cut out the required decal from the sheet, soak
in water for 20 seconds and there you have it. However clear decal
paper works best for decals which are on a light coloured background.
Light coloured decals will be effected by dark background colours
unless you are using the white decal paper. The photo show my first
job, the Myrtleton Milk Pot with company logos. Now to customise
the rest of the Turrella Tramway rollingstock.
