Hi Andrew., Here are some close ups as promised.




Mitch

Hi folks., A lot has happened since I last spoke, The Bridges position was a bit off in the plan that cool train and I did and the end of the yard was realigned to support the new alignment of the bridge
Will try to get some decent photos as soon as I can.

Mitch

Thanks Rod,Glad to see you are feeling better.my friend and i will be laying the track soon!


Mitch

Thanks for the building pics - they look great. Looking forward to seeing more progress on your line.

All the best,

Hi folks after 9-10 months in the planning and construction the CCT is up and running in its full length!

Me and my friend Ray laid the Raised section the steam up bay siding and the curve from the points to the end of the station board today .
Here is a photo you will like.


Mitch

Very nice Mitch.

Thanks Rod., only need to make an embankment for the section from the shed to the station and then do some testing with friends locos then ballasting and placing the loco shed into place then it will be finished!

Mitch

Hi Mitch, looking good and nice to know you have someone to help too. Don't say it will be finished.... don't even think it. Garden railways should always have the opportunity to add just a little bit more and as you progress new ideas will emerge. Keep us posted on developments.

Hello Peter haha that is true! Me and my friend worked hard today laying track.

Mitch

hey Folks here is a shot of my friends B class on my Railway from our run day the other day.

Hope you enjoy.
Mitch

Nice Mitch, but why have you stopped for the time being mate.

That's a lovely busy yard scene, well done on getting up and running!

Andrew.

Hello Folks., Thanks for your Lovely Comments, Im already thinking of an extension already and the main circuit isn"t even completed yet!

Mitch

Onwards and upwards Mitch, won’t be long before you take over the whole garden….

Hahaha Rod I’m not exactly sure if that will happen anytime soon! I need to Get past Two Planning Executives before that happens.
Mitch

Oh these Planning officers can be a nightmare can’t they…..

Hahaha Rod Unfortunately that is true....


Mitch

Hello Folks., i have some news! I am Planning on Purchasing a Roundhouse Basic Series Sammie 0-4-0 tank loco with R/C Water Top up and Pressure Gauge Fitted instead of a roundhouse billy.

Me Cool Train and my friend Ray had a steam up on my tramway as well with Goblin Cool Trains Fineline Alfie and Rays Lilla and Silver lady,
I do have some Photos but i cant figure out how to resize them on snapseed without increasing the size of the image.


Hope you enjoy this Update.

Mitch.
