It's looking great Paul. Really envy your opportunity to build such a rural looking stretch of railway.

rural line = rural cats - steam scares them up the trees !

the rock and earth shifting is mainly by shovel and trailer - as there's so much to do

Oh the wonder of that wide open space, my next Garden (i hope) will be as open as this so that I can get my scenery to end with real scenery rather than Houses. Very nice start with loads to do and keep you busy. Good luck,

snow and visiting grandson at the weekend prompted the use of track power again
with no cleaning of steamie gubbins, and a centimeter of snow, the Stainz got on with the job manfully
Impressive little engine
