You are not the only one Stewie. The reference ment nothing to me either.Doh, I was miles off
Also mentioned in ‘Men behaving badly’ where I think Martin Clunes used to get a little confused with the ‘Captains Log’ thinking why did he need a stick on a Starship?

Some photo's from todays running.
Finally got round to adding some passengers to the carriages.
You can see in the bottom of this photo, for some reason. The liquid nails I glued the foam retaining wall to the back of the platform has melted it.
Leaving a irregular hollowed out effect. Strange as I have glued many other foam pieces with the same tube of glue with no problems.
Only difference I can think of this section is only 10mm thick glued on the cut face, all other bits were 20mm- 30mm thick and glued on the finished face.
I like the effect anyway adds to the weathering
, reminds me of a sprayed concrete wall.
Shots around St Peters/Molinis station.
This area is really starting to come together, even with no trains I enjoy the view.
Next on the to do list will be, another foot crossing to make further down the platform, cutting and fitting the rocks sitting where the station footprint is.
Once that's done I can grout them in and the base of the retaining wall.
Then the tunnel mouth at the end can be worked on, the shed to cover the hole made and a fence at the platform edge at the far left made.
All little jobs I can chip away at whilst doing other work.

Thanks Mick.
Superb and you do not even need to use AI to get a suitable background to some of your pics.Some photo's from todays running.

Thanks, didn't even think of using AI to hide the sheds, might give it a go and see what it can do.

Wow Stewie. The AI pictures certainly show off your railway. Now we just need a picture of Doggo in the scene.View attachment 352489

As perdunnyrail prompt, 2 photos from earlier given the AI treatment.
Not too bad , I did notice in the first photo it left one post in the background.
What a shame we had free tan/brown rocks here instead of grey ones
You can copy the result into AI and ask it to remove those 2 rocks.View attachment 352489

Absolutely stunning pictures. Very jealous of how neat and tidy this railway is!

Don't be, I water, fuss over and weed it each morning
. Only a couple of weeds here and there now, being at waist height does make it easy.Edit, thankfully there is only 1 tall tree near that only drops a few of leaves on the railway everyday.

But isnt half the fun of any railway modelling, actually doing the building?

Yes that should be true and how to properly answer on a public forum without over sharing?
So for better or worse here goes.
I haven't mentioned it before because I don't like to talk about it much, but I was pretty badly hurt in a explosion at work many years ago.
The outcome of that is working with my hands and arms can be very difficult, often frustrating, always uncomfortable and way too often very painful.
A lot of the building of this railway whilst being very challenging, rewarding and incredibly satisfying to have done.
It just wasn't fun whilst I was doing it and for many days afterwards too.
I am very glad I pushed myself to do it thou as what has been done brings me a lot of joy now and hopefully will for a lot of years to come.
So working on the railway now is mainly just fun, rewarding, satisfying and challenging.
The challenges now aren't so demanding and I don't have to push my physical abilities so much to overcome them.
Hope that explains things, without writing a novel.
