Then and NOW....

[duncan1_9_8_4]

Afternoon all, everyone likes to compare pictures, so I thought it might be a decent idea to have a thread just for people's Then, and Now's.... Just include the years of the two pictures you choose.... I'll start us off.

That's my favourite part of your railway, very scenic.

Same corner 22 years apart. Once a simple single loop around the garden, 24' x 12. Now 2 concentric connected ones and just visible a tight serpantine bit inside and connected to the inner loop. Sdings extending into the house off to the left. See those small conifers grouped in the foreground ? Things grow, creating unexpected veiws and scenic opportunities. Max

That's the best thing about garden railways. Ever changing, and growing.

What a great idea. Love seeing how your railways have developed over the years.
Mines too new to have then and now pictures, unless you want the before picture to be a dirt patch .
