With the great weather today I decided to have a massive running day, got everything out and running with 21 double bogies behind the Sumpter Valley Mallet.

Decided to add some life to my Garden Railway, by way of some figures and accessories…

Hey, I'm only being creative here!
Trainspotting on a footbridge... that reminds me.
When I was young they built a new residential area in my city, it was to have a new train station but it wouldn't be built for a few years because the railway was about to be widened from 2 to 4 tracks. So they put up a temporary station, and it had just such a wooden footbridge. Once I stood on the bridge while an Intercity came through at 140 km/h.... the whole bridge was shaking like it would collapse. Never again.

When I was working for Philips in Best, I went to the new station there which was built underground. Very much like the London Tube, until a heavy ore train with four 6400 class diesels came speeding through.
The noise and vibration was horrendous....

Four 6400s is no small business. By the way, I liked their look better than any other freight loco, at least back then with the NS colours before privatisation.

Some pictures of today’s running session on the Hartlebury Valley Railway, the first of this year, and I got almost everything out to play with. The Sumpter Valley Mallet hauling 21 double bogies with ease. Please excuse the washing, it was a nice day…

Some pictures of my Christmas present to myself. Just don’t tell the wife, I’ve got large red boxes everywhere, and struggling to hide them…

Just had a good read of this thread, from very beginning to present. A brilliant layout, and very interesting read!

Reading an entire thread is one of those pleasures that aren't widely known.
