Mitch what device are you using to take photos as you have some great stuff to show but the quality of the pictures is not showing this off unfortunately.
Hi Tom., i am using my phone because my cameras photos are too big of a file to upload to the forum.

You can use your camera you just need to resize the photos.
What phone is it as you might have the image quality on a low setting.

That phone is capable of better image quality, you can then resize the images using an app like Snapseed.
Go into the settings of the camera and increase the megapixels to the maximum value.

That's starting to look really good - I like the buildings very much, any chance of some close-ups some time?
Thanks,
Andrew.

Hi folks., A lot has happened since I last spoke, The Bridges position was a bit off in the plan that cool train and I did and the end of the yard was realigned to support the new alignment of the bridge
Will try to get some decent photos as soon as I can.

Hi Mitch, looking good and nice to know you have someone to help too. Don't say it will be finished.... don't even think it. Garden railways should always have the opportunity to add just a little bit more and as you progress new ideas will emerge. Keep us posted on developments.
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?
