I run a small line called the Brushcutter & Emerfield Mining Co R.R or B&EM, at the moment it is still in the construction phase and it only handles light freight traffic supplying the town of Belinda, whilst the construction of the mine takes place, it is really really short between the two towns of Belinda and Labora, i mean its only about 30 to 40 ft but what makes this line so nice is that the train heading from Belinda snakes its way up a 1 in 20 grade into Labora Mine and plus the stunning views looking across our back yard always keeps the contsruction workers happy. <br />its set at the end of the depression and the only soul running locomotive is a Bachmann Climax, i have an Argyle Philadelphia but she is in the shops at the moment and last time a ran her she only pulled two cars up the grade, their are plans to build an 0-4-0+0-4-0 Garratt which should handle mine traffic well, the longest trains on the line at the moment only consist from 1 to 6 cars, which is just fine. <br />thiere is only one engine crew and calls for employment have been sent out so the boys should start to apear from the scrub anyday now well hopefully.If anybody would like photo's of the little B&EM from Downunder just send an email and ill get them to you as soon as i can. <br />Cheers <br />Stuart <br />
