With the Frateschi H0 set one could model 7% of the prototype.

I need one of those for the Indian-Pacific that we did 20 years ago. It's the same coaches, just lettered differently.

I went on the Ghan mid 2013 from Adelaide to Darwin - right before they abolished our discounted rate.

Fantastic trip, amazing food and the booze was all included! You can jump off in Alice Springs for either 3/4 days or a week and then continue your journey for no extra charge.

The Ghan was featured on an episode of Great Australian Rail Journies on Discovery channel (or maybe it was National Geographic).

Yep that's a long train. The VIA Canadian can get long as well...about 35 cars long in the summer so you Aussies have us beat.

Our trip was from Darwin to Adelaide with a break at Alice Springs.
The first train was one and a half sets due to filming a show on the way up. You boarded a bus to get to the carriage you were on.
A great trip.

Hello Marklineers,

Our family did a trip on "The Ghan" in 1994 from Adelaide to Alice Springs. At that time the line had not been extended to Darwin;
thus we did the leg Alice Springs - Darwin by air. Long time ago : my son on the right has since presented us with two grandchildren!

I look forward to doing the complete new journey Adelaide - Darwin some day.

Regards,

PJ
