You've nearly completed it. The spring should bring some fun and train running.

Lang may yer lum reek.

Hi Carl, aye hopefully by early spring things'll be on the move !!  And long may your stack smoke too !!    ha ha !! nice one or "nice yin" as we say in Scotland 

Davy, I's say winter has arrived at the right time for you, you've earned a well deserved rest after moving tons of earth and stone,

Davy, I think with all the work you completed this year you deserve a break! You have been working your rear off to get where you are today! Great work!

Well I don't like seeing that, but we knew it was coming!  I agree with Carl's way of looking at it!  I will look forward to seeing completion

Best of luck in your winter hibernation Davy!

Davy

I'll be looking forward to spring for part 2.

Have a great holiday season.

Thanks for the Picture Davy! But man does it look COLD!

Davy,

That photo reminds me of being at Lake Erie during foul weather.  Glad I live 100 miles from shore!

Merry Christmas!

Hi Mark, in Scotland theres nowhere you can be 100 miles from shore. When you're central 30 odd miles one way you have the Irish sea/Atlantic ,30 miles the other its the North sea..

So true!!  My wife and I would love to visit Scotland someday when we retire, which won't be long.  We love the photos and are both of Scottish heritage.  Thank's for the reply!

Hi Guys, well yesterday we had a slight taste of milder weather which has to last for a couple of weeks apparently so the "spring-itch" got the better of me and I went out and made a wee start to the O scale project. One of the last things I did before downing tools at the back end of 2016 was to bring in a load of old slabs and rubble so yesterday I got a bit more of the build /trackbed formation  along the back fence backfilled and smoothed off with cement. I also got a bit done in the far left corner (looking out from the wee hut that is) so its now ready for dressing with stones and plants etc. Anyway was good to get back at it.I hope this mild weather keeps up .The earlier the start I get the more chance I have of gettin some trains running before the year's out. Busy with work over the weekend but next week I'm hopin to get pushed on day and daily. Pics attached. Two water columns and a coaling tower stand in the corner waitin for the day they are put in place,...will be a while yet  . Anyway,so begins 2017. 

Hey Davy, Looks like a good start to the new year! I hope the weather hold off for you, cause I love to see your up dates!

Hi Mike, hope so, definately want to be seein some trains running this year . Mind you theres still a lot of work to be done. However upwards and onwards !!. 

Either way it sure is nice to see you posting again!

Happy New Year, Davy.

A good break from the winter doldrums.
