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.

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.

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.

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 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

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.
Grant.

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.

The GSSU website is here. They usually update it a few months before the event.

https://greatsouthernsteamup.com

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

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

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.)
