This site is dedicated to showcasing some of the finest Narrow Gauge layouts
produced by Australian modellers. Some of these layouts are personal, home
layouts and are rarely seen by the general public; others may be more well
known on the exhibition scene, but they all share one thing in common -
fine modelling in narrow gauge.
I have been able to assemble galleries of many scales. The most common
are On30 and HOn30, but three-foot gauge appears in On3,
Sn3, HOn3 and even the challenging Nn3 scale,
while large scale is recognized with a couple of 1/32 (or thereabouts)
layouts.
Click on a thumbnail below to display a gallery, or use the "Quick Link"
list to the left. As each gallery appears,
the thumbnail images then displayed on the left can be "clicked" for full
sized images. There are "short-cut" links to each gallery in the top left
hand corner of each screen.
I hope you will enjoy this online exhibition. If you have any comments,
questions or offers of layouts for inclusion, please contact me by email:

Narrow Gauge?
Australia has significant amounts of track in four main gauges. Until
relatively recent times, three states had basically no track wider than
3'6" - and therefore that gauge can be considered to be that state's
"standard" gauge. This site agrees with that sentiment, and only models
representing a gauge of 3-foot or less are presented.

This site has been prepared with permission of all of the layout owners,
many of whom have opened their house to me on multiple occasions in order
to properly document their layout, have forwarded digital images to me,
or have entrusted me with their personal photographic prints for scanning.
Without their co-operation the site would not have appeared, and for
this we should all be grateful.
