The Woodlock Line

[Northsider]

Have I unwittingly started a Railbus One-Upmanship thread...?

Well, if you have, I love them so much I customised mine to give it an Irish feel/outline.

Some would call this sacrilege, but it was secondhand, mechanically tired, and noisy...

...and it still is!

Love the Irishified railbus!

Turns out it didn't rain, and that I could have got the garden done before days this coming week. Oh well, it'll wait. Testing continues with the Stainz.

Garden done. House cleaning done. A celebratory train can now do the rounds!

The low afternoon sunlight is lovely today.

A quick video while the mood took me.

And, a couple of night shots! The headlights are amazing on this locomotive!

So you can see the Woodlock moose just before you run into them

The turning circle in the front garden is blending in nicely around 6 months later.

Same wagins, different locomotives. A quick run on what is turning out to be a rather dull day. Got a couple of smaller locomotives out too, to give their motors a run.




And an urban squirrel! Must have taken a wrong route from the woods!

Last pictures for a little while as we're Armenia bound soon! Updated the track diagram on the CS3 to represent the new siding.

The Amtrak next to a red phone box tickles me.

All part of our very broad church of G scale, and very "Rule Eight"....

Yeah, I started with a theme, but LGB ruined it with their lack of continuation on product lines, especially US stuff. So now I buy what I actually like.... Unless you like Swiss stuff, without overheads..... Overheads in the garden, what a stupid idea, in my opinion, and a strange product line to persue.

"LGB ruined it with their lack of continuation on product lines, especially US stuff". : this why I am buying mostly USA trains or Piko.
Even 25 years after 1st issue you still can buy the products. Some disapeared also. When the dollar exchange rate is fine I buy in USA to RLD Hobbies for example.
