Sunday Evening Pictures

[Richie]

Nice work on the saddle tank Pete

 

[MR SPOCK]

A hot hot day, good reason to run the railway and sit in a chair,​

​

The peddlar freight run around clearing weeds and dead things off the track,​

​

the Budd railcar spent the day rattling around and a empty coal train made a short appearance, the summer is coming here anyways,​

Very nice Pete

 

[MR SPOCK]

After a long wait everything arrived for the long weekend to make a good start on the new base boards, everything came including the rain,
​

​

​

I got my track plan worked out and the track earmarked to fit using salvaged bits from the dismantled sections, then it rained so nothing done for two days
​

 

[Richie]

Base boards and track are really looking good Pete

 

[ceejaydee]

A galvanised baseboard certainly pays dividends in good old Blighty!
 
Looks like you'll have an impressive area to sort out your rolling stock.

 

[nico]

Looking good .hope rain holds off for you

 

[royale]

Looking hugely impressive, Pete. Really like your long run and flowing curves - a great railway.

 

[MR SPOCK]

After what seems like months I got the railway running again, i decided to double track the main line and rip out some of the sidings , that gave me almost enough track to double what I had plus what was left rom the sidings i reused for a new branch line interchange , first day of running with some temporary buildings set out,​

 

[nicebutdim]

Wow, that is excellent

 

[MR SPOCK]

I had a try making a crossing using Peco individual-ay components, a bit of a fiddle , I think I prefer using solder and copper-clad, but is seems to work OK so will see how it performs, Just got two more yards of track to lay and then can start running trains again, and yes U know I should be building Shark nose's but I want some track to test them on as well,​

​

 

[ceejaydee]

Good to see the line being brought back into use again for the summer

Looking forward to seeing more pics of your trains running.

 

[MR SPOCK]

no let up in the stormy weather this week again ,but I did get out and tested the two shark-nose quickly between rain storms, I also had a look at using the cheap locos i got at £14 each , they need a bit of work but with metal wheels in and one motor block between them will make a show as light loco's running around maybe make into a track cleaner?,​

​

​

​

I also found some cheap baling machines to use as a flatcar load,​

plus my internet is working --- at the moment,
​

 

[MR SPOCK]

Got a family of swallows in the baseboards ready to fly away, I only noticed them yesterday, I also got some new platforms done using some offcuts of tiles from the bathroom floor, they look better than the bathroom!!, and star4ted laying out a level crossing in the little town area,​

​

Great developments Pete. This part on your line has a great 'yard in an industrial area' feel to it.
