Love the scenic back ground youve developed within your garden John, but this one with the far distant back ground is one of my favourites, it adds an extra dimension so as to speak

That's one of the standout shots from this thread for sure! Awesome modelling - really making the most of the outdoors.

The Directors have built a farm above the log loading sidings at Punga Cliffs
It's mainly a place for the various scale animals, often given/received as present, so shall we say the detailing is a bit loose, but I think they have done a good job. Okay I did the grass and fences but it is their scene and their ideas. Give me some new photo angles too.
and the other way
Nice place in the afternoon sun.

Opps I lied, I've picked up a second hand IP Engineering Simplex and some extra Binnie skips...
All will get varying degrees of reworking in the H&MGR workshops before fully entering service, but the Simplex does look at home....
...it will help Jonny around the yard, hope he doesn't get jealous?:-

The light's at the end of the tunnel in this update 
Apart from the, to me, pleasurable task of spending on hour topping up the ballast, the other item of not is that the Climax is now Revolution controlled battery powered.
Considerable testing will be needed to prove the set up, but this evening hour of testings gets the thumbs up
It makes the 5th such Revolution controlled battery powered lash ups now in use on the H&MGR. Battery power works a treat for us with all the flora and funa debris we get.
That's all for this update, thanks for browsing, we enjoy showing you around

Some lovely photos John - always enjoy looking though them! The seasons and natural light mean that no two photos, even from the same spot, are ever quite the same in your garden

As usual John, you have shown us what a lovely layout you have created. It is just briming with atmosphere.
It gives me more impetous to get my layout back up to scratch to take some new shots.

Golly after all those kind comments I feel a little embrassed, our railway really is a lot humbler in reality than in the picutres.
But best I put up some more pictures to bring things up to date. It's autumn now and we're getting a mixer of some beautiful days and some cold howlers like today. But when family duties and the weather allows some times it just a simple Bush Jigger ride...
...when time is limited
...and other days it's more active.

Mother nature continues to work at her weathering and is doing rather well with the timber work in Nina's Trestle...
...she's been at it for about 5 years now.
She's doing a good job with the moss...
...and lichen
One of the joys of garden railways is now they age just real railways.
