Thanks fella's
I've also managed to break the computer, trying to get back on air.

Fabulous video, of a fabulous line. You really get a sense of covering distance.
Grant.

Thanks Aaron,
Now just have to wait until all the sawdust from the chainsaw blows away before I run an oily steam loco, battery for a bit I suspect.
Grant.

Thanks, that's the easy part. Now I've got to get rid of an awfull lot of large timber.

In typical country town fashion, word got out quickly and plenty of help was available. The Shire men's priority was the re-establishment of the road access, while the railway track gang concentrated on track clearance.

Thanks Rik,
Yes Graeme, it was the weight of water in the foliage. The trees had a lot of rot and I had already started removing some but on the Warringine side.
There won't be any shade to be had next summer around Nayook.
Grant.
PS Oh! and I'm in the clack gods bad books again.

Have to say that's a fine job of half round panelling.

Thanks Peter, The pictures only show where the main trunks came down . The tree itself came down directly above Nayook station and town buildings and didn't touch a thing. One knee on the tree hit the top of the wall behind the station and kept everything just high enough, another landed between the...

Well having survived the depression and with passenger numbers increasing, the LNR management have decided to order a new loco (currently being built as we speak) however the weather has thrown a spanner in the works with a severe storm bringing trees down and completely blocking the main line at th...

It's not a bad looking loco despite its reputation. Great modelling again mate.
Grant.
PS. Are you digressing because your other step is a big one!

Picture Perfect, and still left hand drive. Drive with pride Aaron.
Grant.

A PS to the above,
Pete also said he hoped the front engine mount spring hadn't worn too far through the front cross member. But I see you've been there, done that.
Grant.

A thorough job just like you do on your locos Aaron, and you can use the horn without the prince of darkness showing up! I have a little Healey with a Lucas electrical system so know all about the prince. Interestingly, I mentioned your purchase to my club friend and when I said a Tudor with wires a...

I admire your choice Aaron, I knew it would probably be a Ford from the tail light. A friend down here in Melbourne has three of them (at last count!) so have seen plenty of pics, and yours looks superb. Hope you get to enjoy many happy miles in it.
Grant.

Yeah! saw that this morning, unbelievable.
After the loco passed the speed sign, I thought this must just be an explanation of what happened, but the truck was still to come.
Grant.

HI Aaron,
Have sent you a PM, in case you haven't seen the icon (I mostly don't notice them).
Grant.

Ah! thanks Mitch.
Grant.

Mitch,
Do you get the trucks to turn it into a 2-6-2, or are they an extra?
Grant.

That's a great looking loco Mitch, and in time for Christmas too. Nice livery as well.
Grant.

So now I know at least one loco you are taking to the GSSU. Glad to see painting working out for you, great lining job.
Grant.
