Train Tunnel Driving

Tight fit for A Patrol as well.

Good site angler! and cool pics but no info on where??? I take it that the Hervey Range is near Hervey Bay? or somewhere else? I wouldn't mind wandering up there for a look see myself, so some more info would be appreciated!
Thanks mate

Hervey range is about 20K's west of Townsville North Queensland. Turn right at the top of the range, turn left and you are in the high range army training area. Sorry about that

Cheers for that mate.... We're heading up that way 2007, might take a look on the way through!!

Thanks again......

if your planning a trip around driving thru Cheviot Tunnel, dont pack too much, you will be in and out of it within 30 seconds and on ya way home.

I meant finding more train tunnels ;)

Besides, I generally need a reason to go somewhere, the kids love tunnels, and they also love trains (They love Thomas to death!)
They can pretend to be Thomas or Puffin Billy all day long there.
It wears them out, and it's probably a nice photo opportunity too.

I can just hear them chugging and choo choo-ing now.............

Down in the Southern Highlands is a town called Thirlmere and they have a rail museum.... your kids would probably spend days there!!! LOL.... it's a great place!

I used to be a member down at Thirlmere back in 80's, great place to go, they used to have runs locally on lines. But that was long time ago.

also check out www.3801limited.com.au/ they are in the old Redfern yards.

We did a few runs with them down the south coast, adn did a wine run up to huntervalley with em.. Now if I could only get a streamlined 38 class in N scale for under $500us
:(

Check out AMRA model railway club in Mortdale too, the people there will fill you in on some good stuff.

also check out the Sydney N Scale club out at Guilford, thats my old club.

Im yet to do a page for the melbourne club im in... too much on at moment building my layout at home, and other bleep .

We visited Thirlmere last year on holidays down there, my wife's grandmother lived at Hilltop for most of her life, the train display is mostly static now but still very interesting.... I saw railway stuff from my childhood that took me back.... even the smell of the carriages and the seats etc..... and the old destination boards! My kids looked at all this very strangely!!! LOL.....

Brian, if you get down to Berry NSW near the donut van theres a house (or was 5-10 yr ago) that was a museum of rail memoribilia sorta 1klm past donut van towards nowra...

Thanks for that Bruce.... we're heading down that way next July/August so I'll keep an eye out for it!

There is a book which details walks along old train line routes. Some are driveable in places. Not sure of the name but I saw it in Tassie in a National Park reception/shop.

Cool! :)

My BIL & SIL used to live just down the road in Thirlmere - and I've been past that road and looked at it dozens of times wondering where it went.

Thankyou! I'll check it out!
