Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
I am starting to think I am missing a trick here with all your other halfs helping you with railway stuff.
Mine would rather it was all removed and sold so a pergola can be installed on the patio, no chance

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Your certainly right about the shade Phil, we let it go for as long as possible as I hate removing trees. Trouble is Tea Tree goes without warning, and it was big enough to have taken out most of the corner of the shed which would have brought the ceiling down on my HO layout.

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Hey Tom, a pergola requires legs right. and on legs you can bolt horizontals. Deck between and you've got more railway track space.
Just a thought. (ducking at the thought many kitchen items could head my way)

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
I tried suggesting that, no dice.
So this HO layout you have not mentioned before, can we see some pictures of it please in a new thread?
Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
I can empathise with your reluctance, but if a plant is in the wrong place then it must be a weed, whatever its size.

Unfortunately very few photos of my HO layout (not enough for a thread). It's based on a north eastern town in Victoria called Wangaratta in 1967ish. It runs twice around the 24' x 14' shed and up the middle. Above pic is Wangaratta itself, large shunting and make up tracks up the middle which are off scene. Engine shed and turntable. The station served two branch lines and an industrial siding, so there was a lot of action going on.So this HO layout you have not mentioned before, can we see some pictures of it please in a new thread?

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Just finished reading your thread and WOW what a layout, some very very nice locos and buildings, love the way you photograph your line.
The shed for your HO line is something to be wanting.....a 24 x 14 area...if i was so lucky to have that i would be in heaven...lol.

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Wow! Very impressive Grant. The atmosphere you've captured on your outside line is just as tangible on the inside!

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Lovely set up and nice idea of the open storage in the middle feeding up to the layout. On our little island space is a luxury. I'm with Rod, a 24x12 shed would be a dream come true!
Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Thought I should boil some water to test the locos, with the GSSU just around the corner. Had to clear the track as nothing has run for a while.
Preparing two locos at the shed. A short train awaiting a loco at Leawarra A quick pause at Warringine. You guessed it, that curve again.

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Some very nice photos of your trains, must say it does look like a UK garden layout.

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Wonderful shots again Grant. Thanks for further inspiration. With winter approaching here and some track laying still to do I need as much of that as I can get!
Your trains fit so well into a landscape that is very much in proportion with them. I need to learn from that.

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Grant I would be grateful one day if yoy could do a post about how you painted and weathered your locos as I want mine to look just like yours!
Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Lovely pictures especially the third one. I don't see the fence behind just a railway running through a beautiful setting. Just perfect!
Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Thanks Bazzer, unfortunately all I see in that pic. is the fence. They are the bane of my life for photos of the railway.

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Hi Grant,
Don't forget, can you do a post about how you went about painting your locos please

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Great shots again, Grant. Your photos always seem to be so well lit. Is that good timing on your part, or is the light in your part of the world always just right?
