Kimbrit, I will try and post some here. However there are plenty on the "G Scale Mad Forum". My railway is situated in the picnic area at Rothley Station GCR.. We welcome all visitors, especially those that bring along something to run.
Regards
Casey.

The OSP&C is shutdown for the winter and with the ground frozen, track modifications always wait until the spring. However, each winter I try to make a new building for the railway and the building is usually modeled after a local building in town. This year I have chosen a home of a friend to model. So far, a mock-up has been made using foam board. After the holidays, I will start planing the wood to the thickness I want and start construction. I also have an O-scale set-up in the house that is seeing some serious time devoted to scenery.

The treees are cut and the brush burned. I've cleared about 1/4 acre for the new RR/japanese garden. The fill and rocks and gravel will be delivered this spring. At the rate I work, I'd estimate this to be a 15 year project, but it's about having fun, not having everything finished in a weekend, right?

In the meantime I'm running the trains on a 20' X 2' shelf under the sunroom, covered but not heated so not much running going on right now.

Hi grandpopswalt
I figure if at the end of the first two or three weeks of working on a model or garden railway you can not at least run a train around the the line then
the planned first stage of the railway is far too big and ambitious.
After that bit has been succeeded at then its time for a rest and a bit of play time.
Then its a case of as and when I feel like doing more construction work.
Which is probably why my line is taking a while to complete stage one and get on with stage two.
Too Much play time not enough work time[:D]

I have finally started on a layout. The framework for a box is on the ground and "ground making" has commenced. Until the rain stops I will be working on rolling stock.

Hi TJ

Because I don't have the 8 scale sized wizards to keep him under control.
He? is supposedly 1/18 scale so a small one made by Schleich.
Catalogue no if any ones interested 70033 will not be cheap being a reasonably good quality figure

Hello Kimbrit

My line tends to be pretty dormant between November and about March. The only time I'll venture out is to retrieve bits of buildings that have been relocated by the wind. During this time I usually undertake little 'indoor' projects, like putting small kits together, painting figures etc. This year I hope to find some time to weather some of my freight stock.

The other exception might be if we actually get some snow (something of a rarity here on the south coast of England, surprisingly). Then I'll take some pics. The last time that happened here was 28th Jan 2004. The pics I took then, I've put here:
