Don't know about redbacks Invicta, but I have had some giant very out of scale ones at times underneath the seat.
Philip, your absolutely right, it should be newspaper squares, but a white loo roll stands out more (modellers license
) plus they were on special at Rodwells, and well, Pat just couldn't refuse!!

That looks somewhat familiar...... every layout should have one.
The newspaper is rolled up on the wooden bench seat and there are pin-ups on the wall..... Gentlemen only in my loo!

Yours is definitely a higher class structure than mine, Peter. Painted inside and out too.

Grant, Peter,
I think you two have inspired me!
I'm nearly at the end of a project that has taken a couple of months or more so far. One of these is actually the detail I've had in mind as a finishing touch since early on, but wasn't sure I'd be bothered with since there are plenty of more urgent things that need doing.
Peter, where did that thumb latch on the door come from, or did you scratch build it?

I feel a Loo building competition coming on.

Philip, in answer to your question, the thumb latch was made by a jeweller friend many years ago.
I have looked at dolls house suppliers for you and found one (1/12 scale) at Jennifer's of Walsall, this is made of whitemetal and is £2.95, item DH228.
I have dealt with this company many times and always found them very good.

Thanks Peter. I have looked at dolls house ones, but at either 1/12 or 1/24 they are either on the big side or a bit small! As and when I actually need it, I think I'll just make one.

On a quiet Sunday, a new 25HP Thingamejig for the saw mill was brought up by road haulage. It took some wide swings to negotiate the sharp bend coming into Nayook.

That is a lovely scenic addition to your line and very realistic. Somehow I hadn't imagined that kind of movement would be necessary on a 'quiet Sunday'....... perhaps Nayook is rapidly developing into a metropolis?

Probably more like a quiet weekday afternoon, wagon unloaded, tarps rolled up. Time for a chinwag.
Paddy's horse is keeping his eye on the bloke pointing that thing at him!

I do like the wagon with the flap down sides.

A fine sunny day in August, time to boil some water, and yes I have repainted the lumberjack.
On account of a blocked jet, the goods was late leaving Leawarra, after dropping two wagons off, it had to sit in the siding at Warringine to let the midday mixed through.
Just enough room!

That's an interesting chain ring set up on the bike.
Clearly the yanks weren't so revolutionary with their left side set up either.

I'm not into bikes Phil, but it always struck me that it wasn't a gear ratio set up for speed, probably more for a very low powered 1907? motor.
