Only a very minor bit of progress, but it is exciting in a very small way. The first few drops (?) of water have been added to the railway, in the form of a couple puddles by the engine shed, along with a splash of water by the drain for the water column. Only very minor detail, but it's funny how even the smallest of details can add to a scene.
Just a few photos from today's operating session. BBR Terrier "Josie" with the up branch passenger, crossing the peat tramway & canal, about to pass under "Guy's bridge" Later, you see "Josie" crossing the down afternoon goods with Manning Wardle "Niki" at Windrush Junction. A busy day for a light railway ! Last photo shows the neat little Heljan Ruston Hornsby 48DS shunting wagons at Boxer Bay Docks, still very much under construction. I have hopes of making some major progress on the docks in '26.
It's the little things. For quite sometime now I've been meaning to fix a problem with the water column at Windrush Junction. Today I just couldn't let it go any longer and performed some minor scenic surgery. The issue being the column was set on the scenic base, rather than being bedded in within the ground. Issue has been rectified. One more thing ticked off the list.
Col. Stephens having a brief chat with the crew of #8 Hilda before departing down the branch. Looks like a young railway enthusiast is eavesdropping on the conversation.
Train of the week from the BBR.
Just a typical short goods heading down the branch towards Boxer Bay & the docks.
The L&Y van is one of my favorite wagons, another inherited scratch build from a friend.
Just one photo today, another shot of BBR #1 Niki shunting a couple wagons into the brewery. That chap has been reading the paper for a long time, probably can't believe what he's reading.
