Modelling “The Finest Train In The World” In HO Scale – Getting the most from the Auscision and Lima Southern Aurora models

The purpose of this booklet is to provide options for modellers who have, or intend to acquire, HO scale models of the cars and vans that comprise a Southern Aurora set. A large part of the focus is on simple enhancements that modellers can undertake to make the Auscision cars even more realistic.

The booklet also looks at options for modellers who wish to model a Southern Aurora set from Lima cars, whether to modify Lima cars to produce the dining car, lounge car and baggage and power vans, or to rebuild the Lima cars to construct accurate models of the entire Southern Aurora consist, as described in a series of articles in the ‘Australian Model Railway Magazine’ in 2012 and 2013.
