Thanks for the kind comments on my line Pete the whole day went really well apart from a heavy shower at the start

Cool Wet ,and Windy,​

​

not had much time this week but I did get a lot of clearing up done and made a start on the viaduct accross the drive, the wall at the roadside has been cleared and is ready for the track bed to be fixed to it going to use the trayplate with felt and tie wraps fast and cheap and stable, I had to stop as it started to rain again,

Nice work with the bridge Pete
Is it easy to lift out to get your van in ?
Will also look nice running along your front wall

 

[MR SPOCK]

Its a quick fix bridge at the moment, nothing fancy , not too heavy but not worried if the van never gets back in,I use it as a screen anyways, got a few worries about being in view on the roadside tho' esp after reading about others giving up 'cos of vandalism and thefts, thirty yards to go till full circle,

Still outside till a few minutes ago.and going back again, just realised it is sunday,​

​

​

I laid a few more yards and tested it using the most finnicky railcar ever made ever,
​

​

​

follewed by the second most finnicky railcar,​

​

then a decent sized train,​

​

​

​

almost a full circle,​

I also got a nice old boxcar from Chris thanks,​

​

 

[Richie]

Looking good Pete good to see you nearly have a full circle
Been busy revamping my station today with a new lick of paint on the buildings and water tank after digging out an old shrub hanging over the station

 

[MR SPOCK]

Finally after three years planning and several setbacks I managed to get trains running completely around without having to stop and reverse them,​

​

​

looking forward now to being able to sit in the middle and watch the fun,​

​

 

[garrymartin]

That is a great feeling, that I recall, when the loop is finally closed.

 

[MR SPOCK]

I did celebrate with a bottle or two of ale,,I got most of my contents of the garage out and spent this afternoon teaking it but cant wait now to see my big locos really work hard up the hills

That is a great feeling, that I recall, when the loop is finally closed.
