That looks very good, Whenarewethere
I am sure that Sir Topham Hatt, aka the Fat Controller, would be proud to run your railway for you, when it is finished
As already been said above, well done

That is impressive. I've been doing a bit to mine as well. I don't think they are ever finished.

Those passengers on the platform are not observing social distancing, luv trains. Very nice. Have you tried some of the train games on Steam?

It is great to have hobbies - you do not need to be "entertained ".....as there is always another little challenge to overcome - and push the boundaries of your skill.
This was some of my 2020 time absorption .... I finished my 1952 Lanz Bulldog restoration - but then "scratch built" a 22% model of my tractor from (apart from the wheels) steel scrap from under my work bench....I gained a lot of satisfaction from this as I had never built a "scale" model before.......
Great job Kerry, now can you post a video of" Lancey " starting up? with sound.

Thanks for that and in case you are not familiar with the D2206, it was first of the electric start Bulldogs with a starter motor that rocks the motor forward and back against compression - and that is a unique sound in itself !

KJB I love your tractor, can we swap.
These are some of my keep busy projects while locked down over the last 2 times, The tractors are all from recycled bits, old whipper snipper motors (not running of course) old tricycle and lawn mower wheels when available, Beer bottle tops an plumbing nuts etc.
The caravan is from an olive oil can ant toy truck wheels etc. We planted some succulents in the pots, my wife makes succulent mini gardens as well.
there are also some garden cows from junk I have been saving for years, as my dad used to say "it will come in handy even if I never use it".
Thought I might finally get around to finishing off my model railway, it's been about 90% complete for a few decades!

I sell them as fast as I can make them as well.
