Road Name History: The Victorian Railways (VR), trading from 1974 as VicRail, was the state-owned operator of most rail transport in the Australian state of Victoria from 1859 to 1983. The first railways in Victoria were private companies, but when these companies failed or defaulted, the Victorian Railways was established to take over their operations. Most of the lines operated by the Victorian Railways were of 5 ft 3 in (1,600 mm). However, the railways also operated up to five 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) narrow gauge lines between 1898 and 1962, and a 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge line between Albury and Melbourne from 1961.From Wikipedia

Rob Carpenter started his model train obsession as a teenager, initially with some American HO, quickly moving to attempting to make Australian trains. In his early 20’s he moved to N scale, modelling German and then UK prototypes after initial disappointment at the lack of Australian N scale models on the market.
