🎉 WDBC Fettlers Shed Model Railway – Open Day Invitation!
📅 Tomorrow – Saturday 20th September 2025
🕘 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM
📍 WDBC Fettlers Shed – All Welcome!

Step into a world of miniature marvels as the Fettlers Shed throws open its doors for a morning of model railway fun! Whether you're a seasoned operator or a curious first-timer, there's something for everyone.

🚂 Bring along your own trains!
Both DC and DCC welcome – test them out on our detailed HO/OO layout and join in the action.

🆕 A lot has changed on the layout since our last video!
See if you can spot the excellent work completed by our dedicated Shed members — hint hint: look out for the new passing loops, reverse loop, and triangle now in operation!

📸 The layout is perfect for those trackside photos and video clips, so bring your camera phone and capture some of those magic moments in motion.

🛤️ And for the fans of finer scale modelling — the N scale layout (9mm gauge) is now fully operational too! A great option for those who love compact detail and smooth running in a smaller footprint.

🌡️ Cool outside? Not inside!
We’ll have the doors closed and the air conditioning on, keeping the shed comfortable for all.

🥤 Drinks available to keep you refreshed as you enjoy the railway action.

📝 Please sign the visitors’ book on arrival – it helps us with planning and makes you part of the Shed story.

So dust off your favourite loco, bring a mate, and come share the joy of railroading with the WDBC crew. We look forward to seeing you trackside!

Well done to Peter W. [our in house electrical / electronics engineer] and Noel today in navigating a loco around the new “Y” both ways from Coal Loader Line on the loop back to the main outside track via the Heritage Line.

Also via the “Y” to the Heritage Line and straight back to the outside track.

Not quite finished but a huge milestone with many hours spent both in track laying, scenery, electrical planning, electrical logic design and hardware installation.

Watch this space for updates and more information.

125. WDBC Fettlers Shed ~ Station Pass-Through | Tues. 8/07/2025
--------------------------------------------------
🎥 Video 125 ~ Double Track at Woolomin Station

A new track has been added to the inside loop at Woolomin Station!
Now, both inside and outside main stations feature double tracks — a great help on busy running days, allowing us to park trains while others operate.

To showcase the new addition, we used the camera car for a forward and reverse pass-through of both station platforms, giving a clear view of the updated track arrangement.

📷 Camera: Hawkeye Firefly Q6 4K
🚋 Mounting: Placed on a 40’ metal flat car for optimal stability and smooth footage.

Music is A.I. Generated. Video in 1080p30 HD for a better viewing experience.

The new Woolomin Station Loop is in on the Inner Track. Both tracks have station platform access but are in the inner of two platforms [See pics]. The points can be operated by a switch.

This is the tunnel portals where the new Y comes out on to the Heritage Line from the Coal Loader Line.
