This includes many sidings that were in existence then, adding variety to the trains, which include suburban sets, interurban, country passenger and many freight trains. Although the layout is set in the 1980s, many of the trains may be from periods during the 1950s to the present day.

22. “Mullet Creek” – Geoff Small
    This layout is loosely based in the Hawkesbury River region of NSW and most of the trains you will see possibly operated in the area this layout is trying to depict.
