Just like to inform you all of a new short route I put together.

Some of the rivot counter types may spot errors in the traction, The junction rendering is not really as good as it could be, also a lack of prototypical signaling and the dispatcher gets confused in some places too.
The least said about the distant mountains the better!

However for a certain age it gave squeals of delight.

Merry Christmas all, I had a cracker.

best regards

Derek

Have a nice railway time with your son and Thomas and his friends Derek. I had it with my son and the LEGO railway yesterday. Merry Christmas. :D

Excellent work Derek. Need to work on the dispatcher to get it right ;-)

We still have a ton of Brio wooden railways in a box in the play room that both Rebecca and Bronwyn played with at length. Some of the railways were assembled for days in the play room.

Do those ground textures match the trackbed though? :wink:

Cracking route, Derek - it reminds me of a railway I used to know myself many, many years ago. Happy memories! :D
