Still, automatic signalling to HBE will make life so much easier. Still, frustrating that Diamond Creek does not have a Home Departure signal on the lefthand platform (facing Melbourne).
Another one ... |

Then there's the broad guage platform at Belgrave, and I think even the narrow guage one was once relocated.
It was relocated twice. It was originally on the current BG site, then moved to it's curre ... |

Why so glum about modernising the signalling? Train Staff is a nice historic relic but has no place on a suburban railway system....
It comes with being a mmber of the McKenzie in H.O. Lland clan.

Would heavier rail help?
Alternatively, if the points were moved so that the toe was about 6m from the foot crossing (as opposed to about 200m), then could the curve become the mainline, and the st ... |

So we need to replace the whole set, but will it just be stuffed again?
Is there any special reason why it gets destroyed faster? Would it be better to have a turnout with both blades curved? |

a) I was hoping I could rearrange a few curves, and maybe fix the point blade that was mentioned earlier in the thread.
I've heard the cost to fix that point blade would be about $500,000, as i ... |

How exactly are you planning to remove a minute out of DCK-HBE? Unless you're suggesting ditching Wattle Glen...
As for 400m of double track UP of DCK, that would be totally redundant without elect ... |

Why not have two 3-car sets providing the shuttles beyond Eltham?
I reckon all you'd need is 400m of dobule track south of 'Creek and take a minute out of Wattle Glen to Hursty. |
