Here's some photo's of the railway in winter, emphisis on railway not trains, I was weeding and generally tidying up on Sunday and decided to take some Pic's which I think turned out pretty good.

Santas Village looks a bit deserted this time of year............

Must get the tow company in to deal with these abandoned cars.......

You would think the stream should be flowing this time of year?

It's very bleak here at this time of year not really cold but foggy and damp most of the time Hence the mossy growth..........

When I first put this 1920's Buddy L boxcar out it didn't look too bad, but now it's decaying nicely I think it looks even better!!

Very atmospheric - looks good. Great photos.

Been B Cold here, so only working inside - This weekend it will warm up (allegedly), but then the rain comes.

I didn't move to Florida for this!
