"HONGZ" stands for HO scale, N scale, G scale, and Z scale.
Post your non-O scale stuff here!
You tell him Larry! Hey did you see the guy that was selling that we talked about got his hand slapped!
Early spring in Scotland ? All the best.
Hi Guys, well so much for my hopes of an early start,the mild weather has dissapeared again, back to Mr Frosty,
..... hmmmmm.......... spring where are you 
Hmmm... Looks like we are going back to winter here in Western Pennsylvania too! Ah well, it is only fitting. We need it to be cold on Groundhog Day so everyone can freeze in the wee hours of the morning waiting to see if Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow. A friend is making his 18th annual visit to the event!!
Well Davy, look at it the way, it will give you time to get that extra rest you need before starting. I know you will need it cause from the past it show once you get going it balls to the walls! Enjoy your rest!
I should know better than listen to long range weather forecasts

Hi Guys, nothing to report on the garden project progress down to still unfavourable weather but found this really well shot footage of steam on the west highland line here in Scotland between Fort William and Mallaig from August 2016. Steam runs daily throughout the summer on this line. Some great shots of locomotive,train, and scenery....enjoy.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXmr4GtlzOs
Hi Guys, well finally gettin a proper start made to gettin the garden finished and the trains up and runnin. Have been workin on a friends garden for a few weeks which is now finished so back in to my own place. These photos show how the alpine and other plants have started to establish themselves in the main garden area. Have one last corner to finish plant and dress in the main garden.Also one more spill pool to install adjacent to where the G track tunnels thru the fence. Hopefully will be posting progress pics regular again.

Hello Davy,
Good to hear from you? It appears your efforts are showing results! What a wonderful place to relax.
Any weddings on the schedule?
Hey everyone, it's DAVY! Welcome back, things are looking just wonderful in your garden. Almost cant see the tracks, but I bet it will just be great looking with the trains running!
It looks great, Davy! Glad to see you are back
Hi Guys thanks for the welcomes back !. Great weather today. After I posted I made a decent start to the final header pool. Will hopefully finish it tomorrow. Intend it to be just about the right depth for the smaller wild birds to bathe in. Once I get that corner finished I'll be back into the O gauge layout in the back section. As for weddings Carl, yip, every weekend theres at least one,....hate wedding cake ...ha ha. Heres me at my "work".
Wow Davy
That bride looks awful young for him. Of course if thats his car I understand. lol

Looking good Davy, just a little side question, did you use your wee hut this last winter?

Hi Mike, no, it's still as it was left ,still waitin for a door and internal finishing. But its for the O gauge line . First on the agenda is finishing the main garden of which theres just the left hand back corner I'm workin on right now, some topping off of the walling around the G scale line and some ballasting. Last job will be puttin safety sides on the lifting bridge section of the G scale line as I don't want a loco derailing and taking a dive onto the concrete. Once thats all done I can start running the G scale. The O gauge line and area still needs a load of work but should take shape quite quick if I get the weather with me.
