A 13 year old railway

[Madman]

Great pictures Paul, I missed looking at them while I have been away playing with Lionel trains indoors. I have begun working on my outdoor layout again, bringing in buildings that need repair and I put a LGB 2015D in layaway at the LHS as the line lacks any motive power. Hopefully a U series or a Stainz will come in later this year at the shop. I know he has a couple collections coming soon. Keep the great pics coming! Mike

We need some photos of your Lionel empire.....

Thanks Mike. Good to hear of your progress indoors and out. The Sachsen IIK had a run out tonight.

A few more night shots after a few weeks of wet weather. It's great to focus the mind on running trains.

Oh so true Paul. Lovely night shots by the way

A full on running session this afternoon. The list of roundtuit jobs is growing.
Patches of reballsating
New signs for Putgstall station building.
Take the bow out of the campy at Linz station building
Reconnect one number point motor after clumsy oaf walking on track hit a wire (me).
Anyway a few picks.
Mossy time.

 

[AustrianNG]

A couple more.
All my buildings need a good scrub too.

Brilliant photography as usual. Love the moss. The railway that time forgot.... In a good way.

I found a few more night shots from a few weeks ago. The small phone tripod comes in handy to keep the lens steady.

Inspirational stuff ! I have been away from things garden railway for a few months but looking at the pictures of your railway has made me resolve to get back out into the garden ASAP and start putting my line to rights.

 

[AustrianNG]

Thanks Garry. Pictures please.
Meantime I decided to do a little more ballasting where I had made minor modifications to track last summer. Running session followed of course.

 

[Robert Howard]

Brilliant pictures as always. On some you have to look carefully to tell it is not the real thing!

 

[AustrianNG]

Thanks everyone for your kind words. I think the Postcrete ballast goes a long way toward promoting a realistic look. The smoke effects too when the wind is calmer.

Good day for running trains with a little sunshine.

 

[AustrianNG]

Ran a few trains when I got home......essential for well being.

 

[duncan1_9_8_4]

I used postcrete on my new line. Holding up well so far, and Flopsey proof!

 

[AustrianNG]

The Postcrete is holding up well - I use it instead of ballast these days.

Hello Paul, that picture has reminded me why I need an Engerth.

If I remember rightly, that one sits on a Rugens mechanism

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Not seen this thread before, must study tonight when I get home, some amazing photography and what looks a cracking railway.

 

[AustrianNG]

Thank you Frank
And yes Chuggy it is a Rugens chassis

Ah well, I have a brain that is very strangely wired - I can remember stupid details like that, but can't remember to do what SWMBO told me half an hour ago
