Re: The Potters Orchid Railway
Potter Orchid Railway today and this area back in June this year. When the track ballast goes in, (2021 project) it should add a lot more to the railway's scenery.

Re: The Potters Orchid Railway
Perfect!
You're right about the ballast too, I reckon, it will really complete the transformation...

MAM and her paint brush.
Progress on the halt's awning. Gutters and down pipes to come, Pottery shed awning extension work has started.
The step paths will have to wait till next year, however quotes for the work are underway at this time.

The planting is really filling out, sitting looking at a cold autumnal day here in the UK, you have to remind yourself that you guys are in the full throws of spring.

Re: The Potters Orchid Railway
Spring, now that is a novel concept for here. We slept in one morning and we must have missed spring , we are in heat wave conditions, over 30 -35 degrees. Plants are starting to fry. Inland Queensland is having 40 degree days and new max highs are happening which are higher than the last few years of records. I just spent an hour watering the gardens out the back and one rain water tank is nearly dry, barely a trickle. We need a good storm to fill them up again. I had to resort to expensive town water to hold over the Veggie garden for a day or two this morning.BorisSpencer wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 10:28 am The planting is really filling out, sitting looking at a cold autumnal day here in the UK, you have to remind yourself that you guys are in the full throws of spring.
Of course the western world''s philosophy of we must have population growth and economic growth for an infinite amount of time to come has nothing to do with the current situation, we are all complicit in this. Our hobby is a first world consumption luxury.

Yep same here, the grass crackles under foot and is a lovely shade of brown 33C every day and 1mm of rain in the last 2 weeks.

Re: The Potters Orchid Railway
A wee bit of progress at the Potters Orchid Railway here in Queensland. The pottery shed awning is forming up. If you about the north side of Brisbane this summer and have the urge to run your 32mm rolling stock, email or phone the world wide headquarters of Llewellyn.

Re: The Potters Orchid Railway
Awnings look great, one of the best additions a garden line can have. I'd certainly be interested in visiting when it cools own next Winter. Hope to have my new flagship loco rebuilt and fit to be seen by then.
