Model Railway Forum

You've uploaded some terrific photos recently. When my daughter gets home, I'll show her the Halloween ones. She'll love them.

Sorry for not replying earlier, IanAlan, we have been away on holiday a few days.

On the American Railway Forum I am a member they had a 'Halloween Thread'. The pictures formed part of my contribution.
I hope your daughter likes them.

Minor rebuild at Clarence Dock Goods Yard.
Still keeping the 'After the rainfall' look with puddles and wet ground.

I am glad you, and Clarence Dock are on the mend. In '67 I don't recall Halloween being observed. Guy Fox Day is what sticks in my memory. Perhaps a small bonfire might help dry things out?

Hi Chops. Clarence dock is 'up and running' again.

As for Halloween we have always known it. These days we have 'celebrated' it more than years gone.

In the 1920s/30s members of our family worked in Management at Consett Iron Company.
I purchased some wagons a little while back. Every so often I give them a trip around the layout.

Class 47 47404 'Hadrian' is in charge. The locomotive is jut on the lift off bridge, hence the small gap. Clarence Dock Goods Yard is behind
Passing Roseville School. Green and red wagons can be seen.

Looks splendid. I am relieved your little brush with the Bug was a passing affair. I've managed to escape it, and my daughter, who is an Emergency Ward nurse turned up positive, with no symptoms. Her employers told her to take two weeks off, at her expense, and to pay for all her testing before she might return to her duties. In our country health care is only available to those who visit without documentation. Note to self.

Thanks again, Chops. I hope your daughter is okay.

Three more views whilst running the Consett Iron Co wagons.

Heading towards the junction.
Wagons now put away until the next time.

Wonderful imagery. My daughter is OK, and is being worked to death in a swamp of Covid positive meth addicts. The workload is so intense it is often difficult to effectively and properly treat each and every individual, and some hang in a precarious balance before they can be got to. Model railroading provides a wonderful escapism. My little creation, my little world, pleasantly distracting,

Loading or unloading at Clarence Dock Goods Yard? Either way there is not a lot moving.

Woww, your scenery is way over my capabilities (as you will see in my forthcoming layout post), I see you have also adopted old diecast signals from Hornby or C?? IMOP way better then the modern plastic offerings.
