Lambing Flat was finally re-erected in its new home in the garage during July and August 2002, three and a half years after being dismantled for its move from Burwood.  The layout sections survived the move and the long period of storage reasonably well, needing only minor maintenance and repairs to allow trains to run again, once the new framework, backscene supports and lighting valences were erected.  The hardest job was re-assembling and "touching up" the backscene panels, as a lot of damage had occurred to the cardboard panels the backscene was painted on, when it was removed from the attic at Burwood.

Here are some excellent photos Bob Lynch took on the night of the "official" re-opening.

As the sun rose, 1210, a Trax brass model superbly painted by Allan English, simmered quietly in the
loco siding.
 

Another of Alan's magnificent locomotives, a modified and heavily weathered Austrains Roundtop 36, arrives with a passenger train.
 

A goods train, consisting of stock wagons and open wagons loaded with loco coal, and headed by another Austrains Roundtop 36, waits in No 2 Goods Siding for a clear road to Demondrille.

A green Roundtop 36 arrives from Demondrille with another goods train.  Lambing Flat is now operated in the style of Binnaway, so the train will be reversed and taken on to Cowra by another locomotive.

Looking down the busy yard, various vehicles are being loaded and unloaded in the goods sidings while another of Alan English's superb locomotives, 1942, waits in the loop with a goods for Murringo.   The Up Mixed from Murringo is just approaching the platform.

The 19 class has departed and the Up Murringo Mixed stands in the platform, the passengers no doubt wondering when the connecting services to Demondrille and Cowra are going to depart!

Having placed its Up goods loading in the appropriate sidings, 1706,  the current Murringo line locomotive, potters about the yard assembling its Down loading for eventual departure back to
Murringo with the Down Mixed.

Having assembled its loading, 1706 waits in No 2 Goods siding for its connection before departing for Murringo.  Another in the constant procession of goods trains is waiting for reversal and a fresh locomotive on the Main.
 

The regular carriage on the Murringo Mixed is this scratchbuilt model of HS 408, which in real life
was for many years the regular carriage on the Oberon Line.

An MRC refrigerator car is being loaded with frozen rabbits at the Co-op.
 

Another train is due, as the gates of the level crossing are firmly shut against road traffic.  The signal box covers the frame at Frame B, which controls the mill siding, the stock siding, and the yet to be constructed junction leading to Cowra.  In the meantime, the junction is assumed to be beyond the road bridge, and Cowra trains are using the Demondrille Fiddle yard till the new Cowra Fiddle yard is constructed.

All quiet at the mill........
At the moment both Demondrille and Cowra bound trains depart the scene under the road bridge, but when the new section is completed the line to Cowra will veer off to the right and proceed to its own Fiddle yard.  This will necessitate the relocation of the Gang shed.
This is the oldest section of the layout, having been originally constructed for display at the 1983 Modelling the Railways of NSW convention at the AMRA clubrooms at Rockdale.

The weighbridge hut frames the green Roundtop Pig on another goods.

Whoops!  True to their prototype a rake of RU and U wagons have jumped the tracks during shunting operations.  Call out the Breakdown gang!  The crew of 3063T, standing in Loco, look on with amusement!

Whats this then!  It must be the early 1970s, as this brand new 442 is shunting RUs in No 2 Siding.

The "on trial" pre-production Austrains 442 passes an MB van stabled in the Stock siding.
 

Who let that disreputable character in here!  What..... he lives here, you say...... Owner and builder of Lambing Flat, yours truly, doing what I do best......... harassing drivers!  The DPC instructs the driver of the 36 hauled goods train in No 2 siding on the finer points of NSWGR practice.
