In my experience, cats rarely will. Apricot reminds me of my last cat, Fluff.

O Tannenbaum im Katzberg

A little bit of conifer clearance the other day, has really opened up the views. With that, and a trip to the super secret, top secret, confidential rock stash in the arse end of West Yorkshire, a new scene emerges....

Very clever the two return loops !

No trains running today, but as you can all see, a lot of plants have been cleared out to provide a better view of the railway. Helped by obtaining some rocks from that super secret, top secret, secret rock pile.....

All spruce and bright for the new season.

A few train running at the parents house today....

Developments are afoot at the Katzberg. This bit of track, that effectively forms a turning circle, has for years been impracticaly short, where metal wheels often cause short circuits. So it's been extended in quite a unique way, to make it fit. Though will add lots of interest.

A visit to the parents providing pictures for a photo bomb....

A bit of American has found it's way to the Katzberg!

Little project done in what now seems very excessive heat. And it works. The turning circle is now long enough to take the longest of trains without short circuit of the system.
