VicTrainz Lilydale to Healesville Layout - 1913-1920

This layout covers the last 20 miles of the Healesville line from Mooroolbark to Healesville, set in the period of 1913-1920, prior to the line to Lilydale being electrified, and during the period when the locomotives were painted Canadian Red and 'WW1' red. Although World War 1 raged on in Europe, Melbourne and in turn the Victorian Railways continued expanding, with steam hauled suburban services operating to Lilydale, as evidenced by the new expanded station and yard at Lilydale, constructed in 1913 in preparation for the electrification of the line. The line from Yarra Glen to Healesville is now preserved by the Yarra Valley Railway, who currently operate rail motor services between Healesville and Tunnel Hill, with the remaining section to Yarra Glen under restoration as of 2014.

This line features changing grades, the famous 'Tunnel Hill' tunnel and multiple bridges. Some of the highlights along the line include the Cave Hill quarry; the Tunnel Hill runnel, and the 1.5 mile long bridge over the Yarra Flats floodplain and Yarra River near the township of Yarra Glen.

The layout uses prototypical broad gauge (5ft3in gauge) track, and includes two 'fiddle yards', with 'portal' objects, to allow prototypical function of the layout. The fiddle yards are located at the end of the Melbourne mainline, and at the end of the Warburton branchline. Also included are many interactive industries, most using the 'multiple industry new' based objects so that practically any commodity can be loaded/unloaded by the trains.

This route, and many of the custom items, were created by Zec Murphy (ZecRail) and the VicTrainz modelers group (In particular, Jerker and Azervich who provided many custom objects).

We hope you enjoy driving on the Healesville line.
