The New Train Room: One Step Closer

It has been another few busy weekends, with increasing outside temperatures. The new train room has made considerable progress in this time. The inner wall cladding was finished, ceiling panels mounted, the outer cladding was added, and the front door was put in place.

This is pretty much all the heavy lifting done, and the next steps will be sealing gaps and painting, much of which my lovely wife has volunteered to do. Then I can start building the bench work.

There's not much more to write at this stage, so I'll put up a few photos instead. As always, watch this space.

I’ve really come to appreciate how practical a magnetic armband is when doing work like this

Train Portraits: The Banana Transport

Whatever is happening on my layout does not necessarily bear resemblance to reality. The fact alone that I run trains from two different continents should make clear that this is not an attempt at modelling a specific place at a specific time. The key motto is: If it's fun, it'll run. My railway, my rules.
