I seem to have been leading a very quiet life since then with some work occurring on my Barra Town layout and almost nothing on my Ga Hong Ha layout.
I've done a little scenery work around the viaduct but apart from a test bridge haven't attacked the viaduct itself yet. Note the farm house ready to be fixed in place. Where the plaster currently stops will be the entrance fence for the farm with a dirt driveway heading to the house. Haven't decided whether it's cattle or sheep yet. Maybe even both.
As well the station platform has been painted with the next task to mask the length of the platform and paint the edge white. I've also marked out the streets with chalk and continue to play around with the location of shops and houses. At some point I'll rustle up some CountryLink station signs and some fencing for the back of the platform. As it's CountryLink I'd better add a yellow line as well so that my N scale passengers don't fall off the edge.
It seems that around Christmas other things get in the way.
I did have a chance to go through some old photos I had found. I took the photos around 45 years ago so I thought I'd better scan them before they got lost again.
Here's one of double heading 3813 and 6042 on a tour I went on.
And your third heritage image for today is 30T class 3090 with a tour train of somwhere in rural NSW hauling Gopher Models FO coaches (only joking they're real of course).
Sorry they're in black and white but that's all I could afford in those days.
The photos are in surprisingly good condition considering how old they are and the lack of care.
Christmas is over and New Year is just about upon us so until next time I'll wish you a Happy NewYear and see you on the other side.
