Many thanks John,

I was unaware that there was such a model. Do you have any information on
its gauge and whether it was just for show or is able to operate
electrically.

I assume that it could have been built by Metropolitan Vickers / Beyer
Peacock for promotional use. The 46 class locomotives shared some similar
electrical and mechanical features with those 1500 volt DC locomotives used
on the former Manchester - Sheffield (Woodhead) route.

I was able to take a picture of two 46 class locomotives when they arrived
in Sydney by use of the former Titan crane from Cockatoo Dockyard.

Noel,

Here is a larger 46 class model that I photographed in the National Rail
Museum at York UK back in 2008.

View it at http://tdu.to/wayman_2008-01-13_0600.jpg

Hello Richard and others,

That model of the Domain Road Interchange looks interesting.

Are the models of the trams operational so that they can display the
movements of trams at the interchange ?

Maybe "two-rail" HO gauge model tracks could allow appropriate tram
"interchange" movements to be demonstrated.

There was a more ambitious "0" gauge railway model set up on the main
Sydney Railway Station, interstate platform No.1 during displays for the
NSW Railways Centenary in 1955. It had models of the then steam hauled
express and freight trains as well as a model of a train hauled by a "then
still to be delivered" 46 class electric loco.

A couple of my images are attached.

Noel Reed.

Attached are 3 photos of different angles of the official model for this
planned trackwork.
