A recent addition to Southern Rail s Trackside range of ready-to-place HO scale lineside accessories is this generic stock race. Stock races (and their associated stock yards) were once a common feature of all but the smallest wayside goods siding all across Australia, right up to (and past) the demise of stock transport by rail (the late 1980s in NSW).
While this version appears to be based on the standard NSWGR T6 (1948) design (the Southern Rail website states that it is based on the stock race still [barely] standing at Harden in southern NSW), it is sufficiently generic to satisfy the vast majority of modellers who just want a model they can ‘plonk’ on the layout to mark the location of their stock yards, no matter what state’s prototype they are modelling.
The model comes ready assembled and painted on a base measuring 195mm x
