The Trainz layout is modelled on the actual route that branched off the main north-south Hobart to Launceston line at Conara Junction and ran east 75km (about 47mi) to St Marys near the east coast. The entire line, plus two short colliery branch lines, as it existed in the 1950s in in the route. The current line (2020) has been truncated at Fingal, about 2/3rds of its 1950s length, and all stations and yards have been removed. Four stations were manned during normal office hours - Conara Junction, Avoca, Fingal and St Marys. Cullenswood was manned as needed for coal operations. Some of the "stations" were nothing more than "halts" with a station name sign and nothing else (including no platform). Products carried in the 1950s were:-
These products are commodities in the supporting sessions. |
