Hi Everyone.

So how was the bush ? Not bad, plenty of flies, lots of hills, a few snakes, a couple of really hot days, lost a few kilograms, didn't eat much, drank plenty of water. Apart from all that it was fun. 

Soon have the trains running again more later.... Roo.

Great scenery Neville, you look very relaxed here. I need another "Bushwalking" CD. Drop me an email.

Looking forward to your layout progress updates!!

The four double slips have turned out to be a nightmare of very high proportions trying to get them coordinated has proven to be much harder than Bruce or myself have ever experienced.

That said we have achieved the impossible and have them all working fine along with all the other single turnouts because of the puzzle we are way behind, tomorrow we will be finishing the feeders and by tomorrow night all the track should be powered. I have this Friday coming marked down for a running session that's how confident we are. So maybe some photos on Friday . You all take care. Roo.

Looking forward to the images!

You two have more patience and determination than me, Roo. I have often thought double slips would be a nightmare.  I too look forward to seeing the results at the end of the week!

Neville:

I have been an admirer of your layout and modeling skills since the days of the Yahoo group BRHRR days. I will be eagerly following your progress. Don't belittle your modeling skills. You are an inspiration to us all.

Can’t wait to see the double slips!

First video ever of the Railroad with the little four wheeler critter running through the slips to test them after a month of torrid frustration trying to get them all to work in sequence it's done !

And don't forget the other old bloke Bruce he designed all the wiring diagrams and does most of the electrical a very talented man.

The "other" side of the blast furnace.

Roo,

First of all thank you for your service and inspiration to others. There is nothing in this thread that is short of amazing. I envy the space you have and that steel mill. I grew up near one and hope one day to have one on my layout. Your work is top notch!

Dave

Thanks Dave appreciate your kind words.

Roo

It's been a long journey but it's finished and running.

Nev, your last two pictures are not showing up.

Neville,

I would never forget the electron genius, I just don't get posts from him  Layouts are always a team effort, even a store bought item has others involved.  

Does Bruce do house calls? 

I tried to watch the videos posted on 12/06/19 but all I got was sound. No picture. I am not getting the photos posted 8 hours ago either. I look forward to seeing your progress Neville. You are a top notch modeler.

Try Google Chrome. I use Firefox and sometimes I have the same issue. Chrome usually works.

Hi Roo,

I'm enjoying seeing the progress but I don't see the latest 2 photos either.

Thanks. I will give it a shot. 

I can't understand what happened about the two photos here they are again.

Bravo, Neville! You have created a great scene as well as rail yard. Your ground cover is very realistic. Your back drop is superb. It gives the sense of real depth. Keep the great photos coming.

I can not say it better than Randy just did!  Excellent, Neville!

I converted the video to an mp4.

Nev, that looks very much like it could be a part of Brooklyn.  

Friends.

I will be giving the forum a break for a while lots of things going on but I will be back next year.

I would like to thank everyone that has supported me over the year (s) with kind comments and just taking an interest in what I do it is much appreciated. So I wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays or just have a good time over the break.

The photo is an oldie but a goody a military theme from years ago.

Thank You. Roo.  (Neville Rossiter)

Neville:
