Model Railway

Yesterday was the first day in a long time that I have done any 'serious' work on my railway. Somehow I found myself moving loftwards. My recent birthday presents had inspired me to start again. I had been having serious concerns about power failure in one of the tracks. Experiments showed me that one of the engines had a fault. I took it to pieces, oiled it up and s...l...o...w...l...y off she goes. I now have to de-grease the motor and the track.

The village is now rapidly becoming a town due to the addition of a second pub.

This picture shows the train rapidly approaching the village from the right.

This is a fuller view of the village. The engine is pulling two clerestory roof carriages given to me by Francis.

This is the other end of the village. There is a school and the church has a lych gate modelled after St Lawrence Church, Slough.

Here is my newly added lamp hut, which like the new pub, also came from Iona and Izzie. (Thank you). The picture shows a road bridge, a carriage at the buffers and an engine just coming off the turn table.
