Great atmospheric shots, John. I especially like those taken from low down looking up to stock on the embankments. I think the background of trees helps a great deal too

PS - In reference to another thread, I suppose yours is a Field Railway

Re: H&MGR, a family railway in NZ
Golly I'm going to try and keep the standard up, and keep you a bit of sun on show as best I can over summer. And yep Paul trains are planned to follow our usual tradition of trains on Christmas Day, making a very Merry Christmas for me
Today was Kaitaki turn. Pressure is up on the gauge...
...and off we go
At the base of the climb curving up and under the lemon...
...and continuing up hill between the two level crossings.

Re: H&MGR, a family railway in NZ
We ran SWMBO's LGB O&K loco (I wish I was allowed to weather it )
Pausing at Punga Cliffs.
At this time of year late in the day sun sneeks into the curve normally in full shade at the northern extreme of the railway.
General view from one of my favourite watching position on the deck of H&M's playhouse. Though they are out starting to out grow it (not that they ever really played in it enough to justify the time and effort building it
) I wonder if they'd notice if it became a storage area for rolling stock ???

Re: H&MGR, a family railway in NZ
Thanks Steve.
Tradition dictates that at least one train runs on the H&MGR on Christmas Day. While the weather wasn't the best summers day a happy hour was spent late in the day.
And as Otto was really an early Christmas pressie it was appropriate to run it today
Apart from being a bit tricky getting the burner to light and settle it otherwise ran very well.

Re: H&MGR, a family railway in NZ
Now there's a thought, a normally get a few animals at Christmas from H&M, but not this year. No Aussie jumpers out on the layout though, hmm no Kiwi's either, but then maybe they come out after dark
Meanwhile this afternoon cleared to be a Simplexly lovely day.
Always an enjoyable loco to run....
