Possum Point, before and after. The top photo shows Bill Cooper happily shunting on 3rd October 2003 while the bottom photo shows the far end of Possum Point after the flood. The level of debris on the fence shows how high the water came. It was very fast flowing too, but I think the fence protected the station area from the full force of the floodwater, and damage to the station area was minimal. | Rurr Valley Railway - services suspended! | (8) |

June 2004 and No.1 has no touble traversing the intact 'Mt Lyell' bridge... in December 2007 the same journey may be a little more difficult... The bridge collapsed when the rushing water built up a wall of debris against it, the force of the water finally broke the bridge and pushed it out from under the track. Most of the 'bits' have been recovered from under the swimming pool, but I think it will be rebuilt in a more substancial form. The embankment leading around to Underpool station (inset) was also washed away. | Rurr Valley Railway - services suspended! | (5) |

Down South Coast passenger made up of 2 x Eureka 620 sets runs into the platform area at Como. The factory weathering on the early Tuscan version is absolutely magnificent! | Chris Sim's "Como" layout | (5) |

The only section of the line that is reasonable recognisable is Underpool station. Top, No.1 waits with a train in May 2004, while below, the station waits for a train in December 2007! The water didn't rise high enough to cover the track here, so even the loose logs are still lying where they were last used in November 2006. Unforunately, my job with AMRM doesn't leave me with much spare time, so it may be a while before trains are running again on the RVR. | Rurr Valley Railway - services suspended! | (5) |

Just past the 'Dragonrock bridge' in July 2004 and (old) No.2 was having no problem hauling an empty mineral train towards Possum Point. No traffic possible in December 2007, the track has disappeared under the foliage and the 'Mt Lyell' bridge in the background had been destroyed by floodwater. | Rurr Valley Railway - services suspended! | (4) |

 | 9th Dec 2007 | Rurr Valley Railway - services suspended!
After a year in which no trains ran, the RVR has gradually been taken over by greenery. By late 2007 it even more closely resembled its inspiration, Tasmania's Abt railway, albeit after closure! Then on Thursday 6th December 2007, a one-in-twenty year storm hit Sydney, the creek at the bottom of our backyard flooded nearly a metre higher than ever before, flooding the railway, washing away the 'Mt Lyell' bridge and damaging the 'Dragonrock' bridge. Luckily, perhaps due to the dense covering of greenery, the rest of the railway suffered only minor damage, despit a sizable portion of the Bottom Rd being under water...

Photos of Chris Sim's HO layout based on the old Como bridge. I'm helping Chris build the layout and so far we have it running, including a working automatic gantlet track on the bridge, and it has reached the basic scenery stage. When its finished we intend to exhibit it...... if we can get it out of his flat.... ;-)
