The Woodlock Line

[KBR]

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!

At least it is not a nasty pest brushy tail possum (trichosurus vulpecula), shame not the rare red one!

Not had the railway running for a little while. The garden is wet, and don't want to ruin the grass. But I decided to go get some more rocks from that secret pile, to add more interest to the front and help the railway blend in. The rocks have been used to form a border between footpath and grass, especially where the grass struggles to grow, because of the cement used by the builders to make the path edge.

Some AI Slop for you, but I unashamedly quite like it!

Here's the eternal question - now that you've achieved all your desired layout enhancements, whats next? I ask because I find myself in that same position. My layout (while not well documented here, but is on Instagram @br_bahn) is 7 years in, and been expanded every year. I've reached about what the footprint that I can sustain and the level of automation that makes me happy. Whats next? Is there a next?

It's a thing I often ponder. I guess my aim is to keep it operationaly quite perfect. I've got it to a stage where I can switch it on and it works. I'd like to keep it that way. I can't see me doing any more track, as I want to keep a garden too, without the railway taking over. I fancy a canopy above the main station, so might look at that in the new year. But it's definitely becoming more about the garden, and a reliable railway. I might start to standardise my rolling stock, as in metal LGB wheels, and have a think about stock I simply don't use. I have quite a few impulse buys, that don't see the light of day often. My only enhancement would happen if ever LGB do some R1 Y points. Then I could have a novelty circle for such as Halloween and Christmas in the front garden. Unlikely though.
