A minor diversion 6

Landscaping begins

I finally get to the bit I like, bringing it to life.  The tiny 0-4-0 mechanism arrived today from Japan and it is minute. The Baldwin body I have would dwarf it. I do have an old Eggerbahn loco body that I think I can get to fit. At least I'll be able to put an engineer and fireman inside or probably a lady engineer and firewoman as it's the girls' layout!  The Gaugemaster walk around throttle arrived too so no excuse for not getting the wiring drops in and the track polished and tested.

General overview

Amaco Canyon

Might be a tricky crossing...Albeit a dry landing at the moment.

Station throat and Main Street.  
The rail track will be buried in the street as a tramway here.

Fire Chief Stokes on his eternal rounds

Sarah's Farm

Sadly the above house is too big for the site so I've removed it and replaced with the structure below.  I got it for next to nothing on ebay but can't remember who made it. Nonetheless it's a nice piece of moulding, although the window glazing bars are a trifle thickand deep for scale.
