IMRA's
new exhibition layout needed to be
based on a prototypical track plan from the Illawarra line and be
adaptable to a
7.2 metre exhibition layout. After scouring the ARHS track plan
database we decided to model Waterfall in late January 2009.
The
track plan developed incorporates the general track layout and
structures present in the late 1950s and early 1960s. All the
structures will be scratch built from original plans and
photographs.

The
track and point work have been laid in Peco code 83. The track will be
laid upon 17mm
plywood sub road bed and 6mm cork. The points are actuated
using Tortoise point motors.
The
layout is designed to be run with either DC or DCC control.
