Brilliant, Just brilliant

That runs well, you must have got a near contant gradient all the way down. I think its good the the first steam run on the home of the Berry hill works was filmed on a Black berry

Indeed an impressive loco lineup, looks like some sort of theme going on there...

Today being a nice day i had a few hours in the garden after a morning in the workshop.

the local garden centre is closing down and everything is at rock bottom prices, so I went and bought them out of 4mm granite chippings! enough to do the whole track for £20! Also had a few plants from them and then set about doing a little landscaping.

Now THAT is looking superb!

Excellent progress.

I agree, superb!

thanks, iv tried to plan the layout in scenic sections then blended them in the middle. the only section to do now is another station area the opposite side of the garden. this will include a loop and a siding with wagon turn table. this now may have to wait until spring as cold nights and damp ground will hinder the setting of the concrete. still i can lay track on the sections built! and build the liftout bridge

Looking great fella, really taking shape now. I like the transition curves before the bridge, I will predict that your TR loco's will look superb going round there.

I know what you mean regarding the frosty nights, still managing to get little bits done in concrete though but it won't be long before thats not possible... I hate winter, the cold & teh fact that it's starting to get dark so early.

Cheers shane,

the frost nearly took a bit of my track bed. luckly i managed to save it although the conny is taking about 2 days to set now!

Nice one - saves me the job of doing an East Midlands page for you (yet)

Nice website Matt, I've popped it onto my links page.

Narrow Minded · Post by **Narrow Minded** » Sun Oct 31, 2010 11:21 am

Great stuff Matt, I've added the link to my site also (on my brand new 23" HD LED monitor that the wife's bought me on our recent trip - "for being a good boy"! No more waiting 1/2 an hour only to get wiggly graphics - Hurrah!
