Thanks Steve, hope one day we'll get to share a beer as you get to see it for real.;)


There is light at the end of the tunnel on this update...

...two trains quite easy under Revolution control...

...even can do opposing running if I don't mind running between stations to execute the passing...

...though normally still just doing roundy roundy running....

The angle of the late afternoon sun highlight Punga Cliffs rather nicely...

Looking good John!!!!!

I particularly like the angle of the cutting to the right of the cattle stop, the shallow angle gives a feel of wide open spaciousness, great!!

If I had done it it would have probably been steeper to save on space,

love the way theres plants growing out of it as well
 
Something special John.......Just love the ambiance, the modeling....the layout!
 
dam i love this railway...
keep it up, loveing it
 
It is a beautiful little railway. It's very much a railway in proportion to, and running through, the landscape - something rarely seen in the larger scales.
 
looking great
love the mossnear the crossing and the light effects
charming
 
Thanks everyone, your to kind :admire:
I'd like to say it's all exactly how I'd planned it, you know, as carefully thought through as an entry to the Chelsea flower show, but I not that clever!
 
Just a two picture up date today, a short running season afterwork, perfect way to end the working week.

Golly it's been a while since I update this ongoing log of running at the H&MGR. The closing months of 2010 were pretty busy but some limited running did take place, even if it at time it was after dark...
