What do you expect to accomplish RR wise by this time next year?

My line is about 2 years old and comprises a line with passing siding winding down one side of the garden (about 100ft.) with a loop at the end of the line. From this loop another line starts and winds its way up and halfway across the back of the garden- at this point being about 18inches above ground.

This weekend I started to extend the railway across the back of the garden with the intention that by the end of the winter the railway would have reached the other side of the garden and be on it's way back to the house. Hopefully by this time next year the railway will reach the house - leaving a missing link of 35 feet across the back of the house before joining up with the start of the line....and creating a circle round the garden. Maybe this bit will have to wait until 2007!!

Most of my stock is German Narrow Gauge (as I mange to vist the Harz and Dresden area of Germany most years!!!) and Swiss Metre Gauge. However, this year, I got bowled over by the latest LGB Sumpter Valley Mallet release which appeared on the UK market for around US$950 a bargain by UK standards!!!! - I just had to have it!! Have just wired in a wye off the station loop so that I can turn the brute!!

Also waiting for the line round the garden to be completed is an Accucraft live steam Lynton & Barnstaple Lyn. Am just waiting for the time when I can chill out in the middle of the garden with a bottle of cold Lindauer (New Zealand sparkling wine - better than the froggy stuff!!) watching "Lyn" chuff round the garden.....motivation to get to work this winter!! Oops, forgot to mention the Bachmann Heisler and Shay (equipped with Pheonix sound!!) waiting for the logging line to be constructed.........

Once I've sussed out how to post pictures to the site I'll try and show what I've done in the last two years!!
