That Dick Kerr looks lovely Matt, just dirty enough to look like a loved but hard working machine.

The crane looks great, is it the Wrightscale kit ?

Yeah it is, the build wasnt as bad as expected. The instuctions are more or less, 'Clean Part A and stick it to Part B' with some skechy drawings.

Im glad you like the weathering, Its my first real weathering job, after a short while working on my line it will go back to its new owner.

Another new loco rolled out of the works this morning.

A Leader in a very non prototypical livery!

Looks even better than the prototype. What a nice colour, and the lining is beautiful.

That looks bloody lovely that Matt, Nice to see another propper liveried loco and not the hide behind trees and bushes colours.

Thanks for the nice comments and thanks to Greg for giving me free rights on lining his engine any way I wished

Right for a while the railway has served as a backdrop to photos of locos so with the weather picking up a little I think its time for some photos to show the line in its glory.

Lovely photos Matt - thanks for taking them

I could spend all day watching little steam engines puffing around in that garden. That is exactly what I think of when I daydream about my future garden. The plants are beautiful, and the little buildings are too. How I wish I could escape this wretched north and have a nice garden with leafy things and steam engines.

Stunning set of photographs mate. Gorgeous looking line. How long is it though. Or how much space does it take up. Thanks.

Absolutely stunning! I must show my brother these images as he does not believe Garden Railways can look realistic and as detailed as indoor models.
