The WDLR extension

[steamgeorge]

I've been very busy in the garden over the past six months. I caught the Garden Railway bug badly over the winter and decided it would be a good idea to spend all my cash on blocks, sand, cement and track!

The Ffestiniog has influenced the line greatly, so I plan for most of the railway to run on a dry-stone structure that twists and drops to accommodate the landscape. The current setup has always felt to me as though it was missing the drama of some serious civil engineering, so I decided to include an interpretation of Cei Mawr — the 60-foot-high stone embankment. https://www.festipedia.org.uk/wiki/Cei_Mawr
Here is my attempt, nearly complete:

I've always liked the view from the back of the garden, so I thought I would extend the railway in a way that capitalises on it. Here is a recent sunset:

I can see many pics being taken in the location of that first shot, just perfect with the sky as a background.

Really nice! Beautiful atmosphere! Excellent example of how natural background can be used to create really life-like scenes
