Caught the Robin this morning catching some sunshine on the bridge......

Line is looking great Jon!
The railbus fits right in.

So it is now policy that 'trains' always have the locomotive propelling wagons up the hill to the sidings to avoid derailments and run aways. Do LGB still do the yellow chocks?

This is quite in order, Harz used to propel on occasion between Alexisbad and Harzegerode, i used to copy this on my Old Lone at Hemel. Helped with the lack of Run Round Capacity.

Not sure that the LGB Chocks would help as any run aways would just jump over them unless you were placing them an Inch or so behind all the way up the Gradient. Just propell, makes life more interesting and adds more purpose to running sessions.

Nice Spring type morning today, so had a few trains out again.....

Got my garden lights up, so I am ready for the summer now, and evening running.........

 

[trammayo]

I've been ready (well, waiting) for summer ever since the start of the last one!
It does look good though - let's hope you have some balmy evenings!

While doing track plans i have done one for my self.

Second picture. Someone on the sofa getting ready to call the authorities about a man with a camera, taking pictures in the yard, in the dark.....

Found a "fairy bridge" in the garden centre, but about the right scale for garden railways.

Fabulous, literally as well as metaphorically, bridge looks as if its been in situ for ever.

Looks great but don't fairies have wings?!

Made the best of the warm sunny weather today, got my new awning up and decided to get some locos out in the sun. Though the local bears have been causing problems to the service deep in the wilderness........

Garden is maturing nicely.

 

[duncan1_9_8_4]

And to finish off, I have tried some night shots with the OBB loco.

 

[duncan1_9_8_4]

Another glorious day, very warm. So much for my US logging theme as I seem to spend more time running other peoples locos. My camera seem to have become an essential part of getting the railway out......

 

[Beddhist]

Ahh, the beer o'clock pictures. You are lucky, having people in the hobby around you. I'm almost on my own up here.

 

[duncan1_9_8_4]

Love Steam day today, though it didn't start off too well. Cant beat just flicking a electrickary switch and running locos. Looked good though! This is the other halfs, Dads loco that normally spends its time on 'the other gauge' track. Once running it runs like a dream, but it took an hour to get there.

Looks nice with the lion
