The Woodlock Line

A quick running session whilst maintaining the points, and a bit of a tidy up.

Once in awhile, I regret selling my LGB rail bus.

I love it. It's just easy to get out, and very rarely goes wrong...

Precisely. Mine never or I should say hardly ever gave me any issues. Like you say, just place it on the rails and let it go. No coupling up of a bunch of rolling stock that may or may not behave. I found it amazing, with its swiveling bogies how it negotiated the track, even if said track was not perfect.

Or I could simply push any key and viola, it shows up on my doorstep from Evilbay.....

A few frozen points, but the main circuit is available for use. The first run of my new coach too.

A few laps before we go out for the afternoon.

And a few night time shots whilst braving the reassuringly winter weather. According to the BBC hysteria, it's snow tonight. Followed by rain early morning.

 

[duncan1_9_8_4]

Turns out it did snow, but it's heavy, wet stodgy snow, impossible to run in. However, I did decide to stage a picture. Apparently it's going to rain soon, and wash it down.

You're not going anywhere today, sunshine!

Just a quick explanation. The observant ones will have noticed that I have changed the title of my thread to, The Woodlock Line. Over the last 11 years, I started with the intention of doing a logging type layout. But over the years, got a bit of German, US Mainline and other bits. So the original name was no longer relevant depending on what day it was, and what I wanted to run. Welcome to the Woodlock Line

A new member of the fleet swiftly ordered from PS.... Let's see how long it actually takes to arrive.

Still no service on the Woodlock. All the snow drifts have turned to Ice.

Ice-breaker duty.

Don't use bark chippings as the birds move it onto the track

Had it a long, long time ago. Big mistake.

I have crows that move small rocks, branches up to 1” diameter and figures on to the track, bark is the least of your worries

Great railway duncan1_9_8_4 , it looks fantastic. I have just read through your thread from the start, in my spare time. I like how over the years you have slowly expanded and detailed it. Its a shame you lost the nice little pine tree beside the engine shed, it really added to the scene. Look forward to seeing more of the Woodlock Line when the weather warms up for you.
