Marbelup Valley Railway

 The Marbelup Valley Railway represents main-line operations of the Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR) in the early 1960's. The trains are in Sn3½ scale which is 1/64th scale but using 16.5 mm gauge track to give the correct narrow gauge appearance of the original. At that time, the WAGR system was entirely 1067 mm (3'6") gauge.

Apart from Kojonup, the stations and scenes modelled are ficticious although based on typical WAGR practice. The main station, Freycinet, represents a major port on the south coast of Western Australia. Again apart from Kojonup, construction has taken place since late 1997. The trackwork, most major buildings and basic scenery are now complete. However, much is still to be done to add trees and other vegetation, as well as scenic details.
