Well done Mitch, But they are slightly small. Can you try changing the setting to 1,366px and see how the look and more importantly, if they will load….If not you can always go back to 800px.

Re: The Cockatoo Creek Tramway
A very interesting line Mitch. Love the trestle bridge. The track on the side opposite the yard does look a bit to close to the edge though for me. But if your happy with it, so am I.
You have loads of scope for expansion too. Great stuff.

Re: The Cockatoo Creek Tramway
A video tour of a line with commentary is not something you see often on YouTube so it made a nice change to watch and listen.
Re: The Cockatoo Creek Tramway
Looks to be the makings of a cool little railway. Looking forward to future updates.

Re: The Cockatoo Creek Tramway
Gday Folks a Lot has Happened in the Time that i last posted in here, #1 The Cockatoo Creek Tramway has Officially opened ! the Opening Day run was a success to all! #2 I have another loco Now ! a 1995 Bachmann Lyn that my good mate David has given to me ! #3 The CCT is Extending around the back of the Water tank and Joining onto a set of curved points outside the bridge. #4 Robin will be Ordered as a Manually controlled loco before I go on my big Overseas trip On September the 6th.
An Accucraft Edrig Runs past the CCT loco sheds Whilst Cool trains Billy "George" and Fine line models Alfie wait on shed.
Goblin with the Opening Banner.
Hope you enjoy the long awaited photos thanks to Topic Blunder (jake) for helping me with the photos.

Well done Mitch.
I love the shed picture but the 'breaking the banner' is a photo to print out, frame and and hang on the wall!

Re: The Cockatoo Creek Tramway
Congratulations Mitch, a landmark for your railway. There is something very satisfying about the grand opening ceremony to show how your line has developed.
Mine was in August 2013, quite a while ago now, but still well remembered.......
