Sunday Snaps

 Just a couple photos today.   One showing a few wagons down at the Boxer Bay docks,  and the other the branch goods arriving at Windrush Junction.

Sunday Snaps

 Nothing much to report of late.  Work is progressing slowly on the signal box for Boxer Bay.    Here's a couple photographs taken from today's operating session.  BBR Manning Wardle "Niki" on a short goods and one of my favorite wagons I built,  the Parkside GWR horse box.

BB Signal Box #1

It's been way too long since the last post.  Work,  gardening,  and loss of motivation (for a brief spell) all contributed.  The motivation came back right away when I was finally able to run a couple trains for half an hour and there it was.  So onto a new project,  the signal box for Boxer Bay.  I had a Peco kit given to me and decided to use it,  as the size seemed suitably small for a light railway terminus.  The interior kit available from Peco seemed quite expensive,  especially when factoring in postage to the US.  Sticking to a strict budget in these days of high prices, I decided to make up some rudimentary interior with nothing more then some bits of scrap wood and paint.  I figured once the roof is on and windows glazed, "it'll be good enough", to my eyesight.  The camera might say otherwise.  A couple railway photos tossed in just for good measure.   Cheers.
