Chateau De Vic

[ttrigg]

Chateau De Vic perched above the lovely Rosebud Falls.

Ideal Honeymoon hideaway.  

Let's not deal with the question of why there are little kids on the Honeymoon.

Honeymooners enjoy watching the falls.




My wife decided that since the Chateau is so far back from the viewing area it would be a waste of time to place all the furnishings inside as per the instructions.  These furnishings will be used elsewhere as per HER instructions.

I have found a very simple way of installing solar powered lighting.  See under Scratchbuilding and kitbashing - Malibu solar lights.

If you look VERY HARD in the pics of "workshops" you can see parts of the bridges that will eventually form the "elevated line form Rosebud Falls to the Chateau.

Nope!  It is where he hides his girlfriend.  Whoops! Better not let his wife read that one!

Hey guys, take it easy on an old man.  That is ten still photographs merged into a single animated GIF file.  When you get on the high side of 60 years, try holding the camera sill for twn seperate shots!

To answer "iandor" question.

Who want a train doing the rocking?

The purpose of a Chateau is to get away from everything else.

Ian it just needs a tramway to get to the top But I think it use to be a old mine that they use the elevator to yank loving couples up to there hide a way.

Really I am the guy that works there when you come in I try and take your picture for money.
