No action here but the Autumn season will see a start on the Wood yard where Timmy waits to swing his mallet. Removal of some old fuschias has allowed the sun to reach the yard and thought a couple of staged photos might look nice.

Superb photos. Low sun, long shadows, end of a working day.

Since this is really the end of season and we are heaving a complete day of heavy winds and rainshowers which have continued since yesterday evening, I'm in the mood for jumping back to summer and working the steamtrains..

And to you daan.

The weather here is awful so I have not managed to run any trains for what feels like months.

Not a lot happening here but due to the damp weather managed to get some building time. Little brother suggested brick walls would look better than timber, loads of plasticard bricks later....

Happy New Year everyone.

The bricks really make it, well worth the effort, that's what model making is all about.

Sure.

These were taken one quiet Wednesday at Butterley in mid September. The sun was high and bright, but it was low enough to tell that it was autumn and not high summer anymore.

A lovely set of scenes Doug, your train really sets of the settled surroundings. A bit of spit and polish in that Great Western set. That track looks like its been there for years with all the growth.
Thanks for sharing.
