A 13 year old railway

Very very enjoyable Paul. Your line always looks immersive.

Thanks gents.

Tonight one of my first purchases 10 years ago was this Stainz named "Charlotte".
I fitted a new 24 volt smoke unit to her as the 5 volt one had gradually stopped functioning.

Running a simple loco such as this is just as satisfying as a sophisticated £2.5k metal jobby for me. The Stainz loco was the hook which got me into g scale

That last picture is brilliant Paul. With no lamp shining, the evening colours are great.

Reversing loop module fitted (bargain from Germeny at £33.00).
Trains roll. Cameo next to the water crane too.

What make of loop module is that Paul - sounds a good deal.

It was a second hand LGB 55080 Alan - used on an indoor layout - looked like new.

Are the olive green coaches in post #84 a 'standard' LGB item? - They suit a Garden Layout very well.

 

[stockers]

Yes they are. Sold a s a set of three. I think there is a new set out currently - 2 of those coaches and a facultative van.

Edit; yep , DR car set, 39079

They are Phil - ÖBB 4 wheelers.
I have added detail transfers - destination plates and no smoking signs to mine

Cat no.39075

 

[AustrianNG]

Erm no Alan. The catalogue number is 38078 !

The ones in your post are DR with a different roof profile.

 

[stockers]

Thanks Paul - I was looking for the OBB ones but they were being elusive.

 

[PhilP]

Thanks Guys!
More for the wish-list!!

Said DR coaches now have destination plates over the DR emblem and the Black Frank S lok has been ÖBB badged.
Had to run some trains beings as there was a letter y in the Day of the week.

Night shot

This video of Frank S was enjoyable to set up. The flat wagon with the camera on was being pushed by another loco on the parallel passing loop

Bono on heavy goods duty....

 

[AustrianNG]

Ballasting is needed through Wieselburg station but in the meantime trains need to be run. A bit more challenging now the nights are drawing in and there are lots of leaves all over the garden.

 

[AustrianNG]

Never thought I'd like a blue diesel but this one has really grown on me.

I had to run a few other trains too didn't I ?

 

[stockers]

The 'trees' in that last one are working great.
