This blog is a summary of the progress of the building of an N scale layout representing Strathalbyn station and yards in South Australia. The era being modelled is the 1960s. The Aus-moN free form modular system was chosen as the basis for construction. Besides operational use, the layout is also suitable for display. As Strathalbyn station is still in use today by tourist trains of SteamRanger, a swap era may be considered to add variety. (by the Southern N Scale Modellers informal group)
