About the Book
These editions of The Mount Annan Line are in a smaller 24cm x 20cm landscape format. Choose from softcover, hardcover (imagewrap) or hardcover (dust jacket) versions. Also available (see separate links) are an ebook version and premium, large format editions.
Welcome to The Mount Annan Line, a fictitious railway line connecting the Macarthur area in South Western Sydney at Campbelltown and theoretically travelling through the suburbs of Mount Annan, Narellan and Leppington (with future connections through to the new Western Sydney airport at Badgerys Creek).
This line completes a much needed missing link in the Sydney Suburban Network, and provides both passenger services to the growing outer southwestern suburbs along with a freight path for goods traversing from the industries surrounding the new airport to other parts of the state.
It is hoped that in the future there will also be a branchline running through to Camden. In years gone by the Camden Branch line followed a similar path, until its closure on the 1st January, 1963. As it did back then, Kenny Hill will still represent a significant challenge for services due to its steep gradient.
The Mount Annan Line hosts an eclectic mix of NSWGR locomotives and rolling stock, from a range of eras in NSW railway history. You may spot anything from steam locomotive power through to more modern diesel locomotives, in addition to Sydney suburban electric passenger sets.
The Mount Annan Line is modelled in HO or 1:87 scale. This book follows the author's journey in the creation of the layout thus far.
