Re:The EJ&KLR project

Well not quite as sunny as Faur testing yesterday, but since I finished painting the shed, and putting up some shelves for Mum before lunch, I have found time to run another train this afternoon - and since I'd left it out from yesterday, VL10 and the 1980s rake has seen some more use...

I quite like how it looks in orange against the lush green of the trees. Before long we'll be running autumn specials... and then I hope to have the railbus finished and fitted with interior lighting for dusk running , and next spring I'm planning on installing a 16V outdoor lighting circuit for some lamps on the station and yard.

For now enjoy a few photos of the small orange Schoema at Alisendorf, bringing images to my mind of the StLB Ratten branch in the early 1980s...

A damp but Autumnal day yesterday and I grabbed half an hour to run trains. I cleaned the track quickly and the Liliput diesel was running nicely whilst I did a little maintenance and dreamed of the spring.

Re:The EJ&KLR project

composition of the pictures and the subject matter is wonderful.I have just been catching up on this thread with a pint of scrumpy- and very agreeable way to spend time it is too!

Re:The EJ&KLR project

Cheers Ian - I had hoped to run a few more trains yesterday, but never mind

Looks like there's a figure in the bush on that last photo, just above the out of scale leaf?

Re:The EJ&KLR project

Shawn, the online copy comes with a massive back catalog back to 2006 for free, whilst you keep up your subscription. £30ish a year seems good value to me

It is an excellent issue what with James and the two Mikes - IoM and the bog.

Thanks James. When I converted the 30 euros to US dollars its came out to $49. If I get access to starting 2006 that might be worth it. Ill have to give it a try.
