Here are some pics from the last livesteam-meeting at the Pine Hill Railway (PHRy).
Enjoy them ...
Tom Rolt with a short freighttrain.
Engine no 2 on its way out on the line's big wooden trestle. The engine has not yet received her nameplates - wait and see.
A visiting tram on the trestle.
A real beauty - "Silver Lady".
Engine no 2 with a long mixed train.
The trestle is 75cm (2,5ft) at its highest level above ground level.
Evening mood at the Pine Hill station.
Here are some of the engines at steamup tracks.

Looks like a great railway with some tidy models!
If it can be made full scale it can be made 16mm

Here are some pics from the last steamup-meeting at the Pine Hill Railway (PHRy). A nice warm saturday - and everybody was having a great day.
Enjoy the pics ... :D
A "Silver Lady" in front of a freight train at Pine Hill station.
"Silver Lady" with a lot of accessories.
"Alf" comming out of the tunnel. The tunnel opening and the retaining wall are now covered with pieces of slate.
"Alf" and a pair of sandhoppers in a hurry ...
Evening mood at Pine Hill station.
PHRy's new coach - a Brandbright PS18. The coach is fitted with boggies instead of the axelboxes that comes with the kit. This because my line has a lot of narrow curves.

A new coal-bin at Pine Hill station.
"Bjørn Ivar" - a modified RH Lady Anne.
Smalltalk about Railway'ing in the Garden.
Steamup.
A RH Claude.

One of the guests has this rake of Lego-waggons after his RH Charles.

My "Victoria" looks very nice in the evening sun at the Pine Hill Railway.

The Silver Lady with the air-pump belongs to railway-friend that tricked me into livesteam and the fantastic world of 16mm NG on 32mm track.Lner fan Sam:91272 wrote:That silver lady with the Westinghouse pump looks lovely.
He also showed me how to put accessories to the engines - without beeing afraid of drilling holes in these expensive things ...

A new engine arrived at the PHrY before Christmas - a Roundhouse Little John.
I think it looks too nice and glossy now, but I will try to make some weathering to it.
Here is Little John with a rake of gravelwagons.
The last wagon will have a brakeplatform for the brakeman. It is actually not a platform - it's more a seat hanging on the rear end of the wagon.
The wagon came this day out of the paintshop. I think the painter must have had a bad day.

I painted the green LGB-plastic with a rust color. I covered the rustspots with a chipping-fluid (you may use AK Interactive or a hairspray),
and then painted the wagon with the grey top color.
After making scratches on the surface, I paint some ruststreaks with rust color and white spirit.

Winter is here with snow and 4 minus C. Then it's time for a winter-steam-up. Due to the cold weather Victoria was made ready indoors.
Here are some pics from the session. Enjoy it ...
"Victoria" - a Roundhouse Silver Lady - Black with red lining.
"Victoria" in front of a mixed train at the Pine Hill station.
Pressure is 30 psi - ready to go.

We are having one of our weird winter warm spells. It has been pushing +15C the last few days. Thankfully the ground is bone dry or we would have the spring bulbs trying to come up! I am taking advantage of the good weather to re-route a difficult section of track.

Traffic Pattern? What pattern? Spuds out; grain in, but cattle, sheep and passengers are a lot less predictable.

Thanks. I'll hope spring appears in some time - when temperature raises over freezing and the sun helps melting away that ice and snow.
Anyway - this is the challenge about garden railways here in Norway.
And it helps making nice pics to this thread ...

I am glad that you post pictures fairly often. I rather like your line. It seems to get a lot of things right. It also has just enough Norwegian character to be different.
The weather here can be a challenge. I am currently wondering what the heck happened to our winter. We had a cold snap in November, a light snow fall - just enough to keep people out of church, not Walmart - then nothing! My inner Scot is going "we'll pay for this!"

My RH Little John and some of my LGB gravel wagons have been in the paintshop last days. And here is the result of the weathering of the engine and the gravel wagons.
And here is the way I did it.
First a thinn coat of matt varnish, then a wash of black and rust colors mixed with white spirit.
The rusty chimney and the footstep are drybrushed with burnt sienna powder color. Inside the cab a woodenplank floor.
The roof is first painted in different rust colors, then a layer of chipping fluid, and a topcoat of silver acrylic paint.
When the acrylic was dry, the roof was dampened with water and scratches made to look like rust spots.
Then some ruststeaks and some soot from the chimney.
Finally the little beast was given a matt varnish to seal the weathering.
Those gravel wagons were also weathered in the same way as the roof of the engine:
