Garahbara Rebuilds

Today saw the Grand Opening of Garahbara's rebuilt main platform building. Around 100 hours of tireless work by Garahbara Construction Inc saw the construction come in on budget,  However research and fiddly bits saw considerable delays over the construction period.

HAILSTORM HITS GARAHBARA - NOT MANY DEAD

NEWS FLASH: 13th Nov 2014 - AAP Reuters

A massive hailstorm hit Garahbara this afternoon with hailstones the size of buses and cars. Our man is on the spot for this exclusive report.

Destruction rained down on Garahbara this afternoon, for more than 30 minutes on this busy rail hub and transport centre.  Garahbara's recently installed protective shielding of perspex skylights, designed to protect Garahbara in such an event, was no match for the forces and havoc that nature can deal out to us all.

"The destruction was extensive" said Mr L. P. Being.  "Many of my close friends and relatives did not survive. However I do believe most of my fellow Being families, and Garahbara, will rise once more, with the help and financial assistance of the Humbrol Foundation, the Superglue Institute, the Hobby Knife Academy and the Hoover Vacuum Corporation.

Mr Being provided us with this exclusive footage of the disaster.

Stay tuned for further updates on the disaster recovery effort.

Remember fotopic.net ?

Finally, after 2 1/2 years after fotopic.net shut shop, I finally get all my pics back through a download facility they've set up.  Try http://www.fotopic.net/ for those that may have pics up there and want them back.

Just a sample of some of the pics of Garahbara I had up there.  One day, when I get better at it, Garahbara might get featured and published somewhere. :)

.....and some more......

and these......

What about these?

Better put some trains in!!!

..... and some locos as well.

Enjoy. :)

A Tram Trundle on Collins

It has been a while.  This thing called work keeps getting in the way.  Anyway, been mucking with Trainz of another kind.

Fancy a trundle on a tram up Collins St?

It's an imported tram, but never the less.  I'll get a proper Melbourne one from somewhere.

Garahbara may be out in the garage, but Tram Trundle resides purely inside the pooter using Trainz 2012 train simulator.  Apologies for the resolution.  Bring on a decent bandwidth and capacity NBN I say!

Garahbara gets a Flour Mill

Garahbara now has a flour mill.  Well, I think it's a flour mill.  That will do for the time being until I decide.  Still needs a bit of roughing up with some signage, junk, crates, tins, boxes, weeds etc.  Oh.... and some bags of flour. :)

It is a Gaslight Models (out of Tasmania) card kit that is labeled "Boiler House".  But I'm no old boiler, so I reckon it can be a flour mill. Anyway, I could do with the dough!:)  It is OO scale, but seems to fit in OK

The roof is a bit bodgey, bu it's the angle of the light, you see.  Yeah.... I know. we all say that!

What's that I hear you say?  You've got both those semi-trailers too?

Thought I'd better add some shade for the boss's fancy cars.

And a few more other pics of around town to go with it.
