Something different!

Work is progressing well on my first model railway 'micro' layout representing a steam branch line terminus. There are many crossovers between the two hobbies, especially around the scenic work. All wired up and running just fine at slow shunting speed I'm finding it incredibly rewarding. A few shots so far.

  2. I have followed this progress on YouTube and have been impressed at the ‘contained’ nature of the project and the speed of progress.

    1. Thanks for following along there Norm. Getting everything live and running was a real feeing of achievement. Still loads to do, I have a couple of blocks of florists oasis coming to form the landscape at the tunnel end and a pack of 20 figures to paint this weekend!

    1. Hi Steve, hope you are keeping well. This is a fun project and to be honest as much for my little Grandson as myself :) Tried to get a couple of videos yesterday of the loco running in but operating controller and camera phone at the same time defeated me! I will do though.
      Cheers,
      Lee.

    1. Thank you, that's just what I am aiming for, you can almost hear the birds singing before the start of a days operation :)
