Darren French photographed the
scene on his layout, which is a
proto-freelanced N scale layout
modeled on the State Government-
owned Victorian Railways. The lay-
out location is based in Gippsland,
Victoria, Australia. The model was
built by Ian Fletcher.
Y109 is a fully detailed Spirit Design
(local Australian manufacturer)
etched brass kit mounted on a
LifeLike SW9/1200 mech, the gray
and orange airbrushed with Badger
Modelflex water based acrylics pre-
mixed to suit the prototype. Black
and white detail was hand brushed
on with Humbrol enamels, and the
model weathered with powdered
artists pastels and finished with a
light airbrushing of an earth wash.
