A virtual real scale model of the NSW country branch lines linking Blayney and Cowra. The line was mothballed in 1991, although some parts were subsequently reopened for a period for limited traffic.
LTL is set in the mid to late 1960's, when both steam and diesel operated simultaneously. The model probably presents a rosier picture than is strictly accurate. At that time spending on infrastructure and maintenance was low, and the rail network was looking a little run down. While inovations in grain handling provided an economic boost to the rural rail network, and new diesel locos and bulk grain silos were being introduced to handle it, general rail traffic had declined in recent years, due to competition from road transport and the motor car.

The orginal model was constructed manually using data from topographical maps, and the NSW 1932 Curve and Gradiant Diagrams and DEM data. More recently Google Earth has also been helpful.. Detailing is based on historical research, site visits, and the memory of the creator.
This Route will merge with Weddin By FootplatePhil - Just South of the Cowra station at Mid Western Highway Road Bridge
