Once upon a line in the West....

Thank you for your interest, I will put some more pictures up. It is a very much "work in progress" 1/32 scale (G1) DCC track powered "end to end" garden layout. It is more than a bit eccentric and is being built after having had an earlier (larger) track in the same scale etc in another garden. I am about three years in and now getting to some "scenic" aspects that the previous line didn't really get to. It is built in a steeply sloped garden that isn't very wide, which "informed" the design.

 

It lives in my imagination and gives me a good deal of pleasure. 

 

And the light outside is always interesting!

I do like the way you have incorporated the railway into the garden and the plants adds to the scenery. You are right the weather and the light always makes interesting pictures. 👍

Thank you Jim!

 

It's lovely out there today, but unfortunately work is getting in the way of trains....

 

Beyond the tunnel and towards the house, I have started "HS2" - something for 2025 and beyond...

Not much done recently as distracted by major building work in the house, but I did run some trains for visitors yesterday.

 

And left the main building outside, which got rained on overnight....

I was taking it in, but decided to put it out again instead, as the roof wasn't in quite the right position and obscured the gutter. I am now looking forward to more rain to see how well (or if) my gutter works, looking outside I see a good testing is in progress!

As the pictures show, water doesn't really "scale", but the whole thing feels very different to earlier in the year after the last few weeks of relative dampness. The plants always seem to do well at this end of the year, I was pleased to see the "mind your own business" has really established itself between the upper and quay lines, top-ish right of above picture.

 

Some painting of the signal box has taken place. Although there were variations in the application of Southern Region painting styles, I think the vertical timbers between the paired windows need to be green. And it needs a roof and stuff,,,
