Re:Taita Gorge Railway..... 13 years old
:impatient: Question. What do you do when you want to work on your railway, and it's blowing a 110 km/h breeze.
Answer. You work on the sheltered section, and finish laying and wiring up the enlarged balloon loop.
I've run out of ballast, but at least I got all the trackwork down with materials on hand. Well, almost. I was 3 rail joiners short, and feared a 25 km drive was about in order to Mack's Tracks... but I scrounged some off a storage road, in the shed, that can do without them for the time being. All worked perfect, first time (mind you, it should have, I was only replacing something that was once there).
Once I had proved that all was OK for operation, I set to with some horticultural maintenance (in English, read weeding) when I had one of those 'must capture the moment' visions (read, I'm sick of weeding, and that looks like it would make a good photo), so here's Bertha approaching Happy Feet curve (that's Happy in the background, Penguins were flavour of the month these parts last winter).
Later on, I had another of those moments.......
Amazing what you get when a little vegetation is cleared. :love:
Actually, when I downloaded this shot, I almost didn't recognise my own railway.
