A sunny Autumn day with a bit of a chill in the air. Spent about an hour just shunting wagons around at Leawarra. It's nice to be able to just let the loco sit with a wisp of steam at the safety. Eventually put a train together, a van at the end for a run up to Nayook.
Collecting train orders from the station staff.
The chill in the air made for a lot of steam. Some pics couldn't see the loco.

About to walk out the door for work this Monday morning, a shunt and a leisurely trip up the line sounds perfect right about now.

Trying to keep myself occupied, the Works Dept. are about to take charge of a new works van.
Joe is touching up a few spots.
Later, the van was rolled out in the sun to dry everything.

Hi Grant.
Great images of your railway as per usual. I could have done with Joe's painting skills on Shanghai Lil's makeover.

After seeing Philip's and others 3d figures painted up so beautifully, I don't think I'll use my motley crew anymore in pics.

Funnily enough, just as I was reading down the recent posts, I thought what a good job the painter was.LNR wrote: Sun Jul 26, 2026 8:37 am

Possibly a wee bit pristine though, I don't think I've ever seen a painters white overall's that are actually white, more usually a sort of random rainbow effect! Much the same to be said for his ladders as well. However, the van and its detail are superb , as usual, Grant.

Thanks Philip, the van was originally a US caboose with a cupola given to me by a friend that didn't fit my line.
Your 3d figures are the perfect answer to be able to have figures in the exact pose required for a given situation. I would imagine those coaches would have gained some weight with a full compliment of passengers.
