Been off line for a while so slowly catching up on events on here by trawing through the forums but heres an update on my progress in the garden
Mainline track layout is as i want it isolated wiring completed operational running of upto 7 trains at once is possible though a bit hectic. just need to start on sceanary and detail now
next major job is building mountains and hills to cover 50% of what you see so that trains appear and disapear in and out of tunnels etc to add intrest. anyway heres my latest videos as i continue to iron out any problems

With the dry weather lately i have managed to keep it down for over a week but do take it up when the grass gets to long & i have to mow it. Have had a good running session tonight & taken a few pics so will put some up later. Will drop by soon but am tied up with being on call for problems at work for next 2 weekends & 5 nights over the next 2 weeks. That means i have to stay close to home. Connie is running great, am well pleased with it. Got my eye on the Heisler & Climax if you ever decide to sell one or other.

Another great video Tony.Liked the black & white at the end.It created the right feel for the period of the trains. Appreciate you want to keep the locos but as a man who is in the know give us a nod if you hear of something. What camera are you using to do your vids? The presentation is very good.

Hi Tony
Having seen it in the flesh and the your individualised method of and wiring the connection, linking the loops I know that it will be a stunner.
This layout is really progressing. It has all the features of an attractive and interesting railroad. When the scenery is done it is going to look sooooo good. Well done mate! :D:clap:
