I never really want to visit Australia. It is home to some of the most venomous insects and reptiles on God's Green Earth, not to mention beaches that are protected by shark nets. However, the Island Continent is a fascination in that it has species that don't exist anywhere else, like kangaroos, but not at all others, like armadillos. And how did the aborigines get there? Did they get transported by UFO's and flying saucers? Well, the answer to this, and many other mysteries lies in the theory that sea levels were a lot lower because ambient water was trapped in glaciers of the previous ice ages, and thus the distance from the Asia to Australia was a lot shorter and could be done by paleolithic island hopping. But, and to this I can find no answer, how did Tyco try to break into the Australian market, and so late in its existence? Tyco did a few pieces in NSW, Victoria Rail, but hardly more than a few pieces out the thousands it otherwise produced.

Great video! Those Australian Tyco pieces are awesome - as are the various freight cars you showed.

Nice vid, Chops.
Did you know that Ariabia imports most of their camels from breeding farms from down under?

Thanks, Brian, and no, I did not have a clue. I do know that camels
were native to Western America, and vanished shortly after the Clovis
people started showing up. Also, the US Army tried an experiment with
camels some time after the civil war, in the West. Guess they didn't quite fit
the bill, but some were seen in the wild for a time after. True; no April

Nice video Jeff.
Probably no Tyco shells but still nice model train scenes starting at the 23 minute mark.
