| Update 4th September 2015 |

While I recover from a Coronary Angiagram, all good results BTW, I recover at a friend's place
so have plenty of time to do this update.
In a Facebook page someone posted a photo of a NSW 12 class and a VR ZLP van, and it was "wrong" for the purists. So I liked the photo and went down to take my own version. A Respected and well known Magazine editor was 'forced' into the thread, so I "readdressed" the error with a bigger error, a photo of the VR K class with a NSW guardsvan. Not to be outdone, the original poster then published a photo of the same 12 class and ZLP, then added another ZLP and a great northern VR "T" - es I matched that too. Seeing I had 'worked' up the poor Editor I conceeded on my part with a small text bit telling others why we were doing it, ie NSW Standard gauge steam locos like this never pulled a Victorian BroadGauge Guards van. The Editor of the Magazine is well known and is a good sport. He knows how a train is put together - something many do not know. So he can tell you if xx wagon could goes behind y wagon etc... It is fun to cause a little mischief, yet just as edcational to know what he does. ( he wins both ways) So here's the photos I took, only using 2 of them. |

Next up was another facebook photo, this time the gorup were showing "W"class loco so I took these
photos and posted one.
The Clean W was purchased and has a Thomas doner mechanism. The older crappier one was painted by me and has a dapolterrier doner mechanism with a Northern Models body. Neither are DCC worling at the moment. |

This sole photos was sent to a gentleman who had personal links to these Well tanks. I just liked them so got three. One is stock, one had the cab cut off, and one had a lot of cab and bunker cut off to become a tender loco with a freelanced 4 wheel tender. |

The canyon is comming a long slowly. the"road" now winds it's way to where the bridge is needed. The bridge
meanwhile is stored in the other room out of the way.

The Road to the canyon is slowly there in it's basic form. It wods from the canyon straight across a field then around a curve to meet a intersection to the container termnal and old goods shed. A level crossing is ready to be done as well, eventually.

Some work on a cutting between Graceton and Daboola. This is in preparation to plant a bridge at this
point. The bridge will be seated on brick piers to allow for double stack container traffic.
