Re: North Avenue Line
the train stops at one and then switches to reverse and then does the same again and again.

Re: North Avenue Line
the north avenue railway .is a line that has fallen on hard times this is why iv made everything look old and worn out. most of the industry's that once flushed on the railway have gone. and maintenance hasn't been kept up with in recent years. one last tired loco runs at present taking on what ever loads it can .a lot of the lines scrap that litters the line is from the old coal mine and is now waiting to be taken to the scrap merchant .

Re: North Avenue Line
I do love your collection of 'stuff' Jim, it all works together so well..... very artistic!
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?
Re: North Avenue Line
Plenty of rust there Jim Can't have too much rust I say.
Re: North Avenue Line
Hope you can upload a video soon Jim, I think we are all waiting in anticipation to see a train running on it.

Re: North Avenue Line
Gives a whole new perspective to 'landscaping' - really convincing. After all, the majority of narrow gauge railways in this country were originally industrial. Is the new section going to be rural or industrial?

Re: North Avenue Line
That's looking great, full of character... It reminds me of the Silvertown Tramway in east London, which I vaguely remember from what must have been its dying days, with rusty rolling stock on rusty sidings. I think it linked the Tate and Lyle sugar refinery and various scrapyards with the mainline... Anyway, your line is very atmospheric, thanks for the photos.
I particularly like the ballasting and ground cover, very convincing, I'd be interested to know how you've achieved the effect...
Cheers,
Andrew

Re: North Avenue Line
Lovely stuff there Jim - looking very industrial and 'Compton Down-ish' Do we have a new Peter Jones in our midst? Will it grow like topsy, and take over the whole garden?
