Pacific National 1WB3 Steel Train - Normanhurst 19/02/2017

Went spotting up at Normanhurst in Sydney's Northern Suburbs this afternoon. 

I managed to get the video camera in time for 1WB3 steel to pass with NR18, AN7 and 8220 up front. 

The train consisted entirely of jumbo coil steel loading and steel coil in 'butter-boxes'. 

NR18 up front in Indian Pacific Yellow and Silver.

Auscision MBY Car Carrier Wagon

Hi all,

Quick image of Auscision's new MBY car carrier wagon in Indian Red with SRA 'L7' logos.

Not many of these packs arrived with the first batch, so pretty happy to be one of the first people to order (and therefore receive) them.

NSW RTM 4250 leads MBY 2582 and a PHN power van. 

Once again, Auscision do not fail to deliver in detail and quality. The wagons are well weighted and roll smoothly. The deck and framing has enough detail that a load of cars isn't needed (though a load of holidaying family cars wouldn't go astray).

Models are available from Auscision Models or their retailers:

Cheers

On the way South today I managed to spot 8144 and 8133 leading train #3232 Pacific National grain.

Train was pretty standard consisting of 28 x NGPF/NGKF type grain wagons.

8144 leading the consist around towards Towrang heading North.

8144 + 8133 passing through the rather photogenic cutting. 

Trailing shot as the locos pass beneath Towrang Road.
