Even your scrub growth is to scale!
Really scenic and realistic photos again Grant.

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Not Sedum Rik, which if I've got it right is a succulent. Don't know what it is but it's a prolific grower in cooler times, has very little hold on the ground (you can sort of comb it out with your fingers) and dies off very readily when temps rise, leaving seeds galore for next time.

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Wonderful pictures! I love the paint finish on the loco, the simple one carriage train, the cab-first running, and - as others have said, the atmosphere the vegetation creates...
All the best,
Andrew.

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Well, whatever it is, it looks spot-on for scale weed growth beside the railway. I'm experimenting with sedums (seda??) in a couple of places in my garden which dry out quickly in the summer. Everywhere else generally stays quite damp and so moss and MYOB grow in profusion, but not along the back edge of the garden.LNR wrote: ↑Thu Oct 18, 2018 11:46 am Not Sedum Rik, which if I've got it right is a succulent.

Raising steam on shed.
On the down, Warringine Valley Bridge.
Back amongst the weeds at Nayook.
On the up, that curve again.
Simmering on the turntable after the trip.Grant.

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Certainly no Lady Anne frames in there Mitch. I bought a Katie boiler and chassis kit, Used the frames, wheels and rods for my petrol mechanical loco. Then used the cylinders, boiler and some motion parts for the steamer. I detailed this back somewhere in my railway section.Mitch stack wrote: ↑Fri Oct 19, 2018 6:52 am is that Bagnall Based of a Lady Anne Chassis with extended Frames?

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
I just took the time to read the entire 27 pages of this and I’m in awe! Definitely given me some inspiration for my layout. Your loco shed and pot area is very similar to what I have planned on my head . Hopefully I can do a half decent job to the detail and atmosphere you have captured in yours
Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Thank you Dan, and welcome again to the forum. Any chance your coming down to the Great Southern Steam up this weekend ?
Good luck with your project, sounds like a 2ft. gauge cane type loco coming up. Be good to see some more colonial flavour.

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Where is it held?
Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Hi Dan,
It's held at the Gembrook Community Hall, but I'm afraid you have to register and pay upfront. It is a great three days, closed to the public, a big hall, two large layouts, some commercial stands, lunch morning and afternoon teas included. Didn't know what your situation was up there, perhaps next year. Hopefully it will be covered to some extent on Youtube, last years and others have been.
Grant.
PS just remembered It's run by Argyle Loco Works down here in Victoria and details are on their website.

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Sounds great. Might have to make plans for next years event
Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
The GSSU website is here. They usually update it a few months before the event.Steaminnthnsw wrote: ↑Tue Nov 06, 2018 3:00 am Sounds great. Might have to make plans for next years event

Other steamups closer to you are GRITH in the Hunter Valley and SHSU in the Southern Highlands. These two alternate, SHSU was on earlier this year, so next year would be GRITH.
http://www.shsteamup.com and http://grithsteamup.blogspot.com
As Grant suggested, there are videos from previous runs on Youtube. Search for GSSU and Great Southern Steamup. Videos from the NSW steamups are on there as well.
Regards,
Graeme

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
I've just come across your beaut railway. A great read right through the topic.
The only problem is that your modelling is so great that I think I'll give up now.

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Greetings all,
Spring has sprung on the LNR, so a few pics. from today's runs showing the winters growth (which won't be around long if forecast temps are right for this coming summer.)
First up that curve over Warringine Creek Drifting into Warringine station Rounding Turpins curve (we lost the bush behind the house this winter, so the backdrop has gone) Pulling out of Warringine on the up. And finally back at Leawarra, with the afternoon goods made up in No. 2 road. Grant.
