BUILDING THE EMU BAY GARDEN RAILWAY FROM EARLY YEARS !



      A view of the backyard from the deck.
       Loco running past the derelict station.

        This bridge came from Wheelers Hill & had to be reconstructed.

        Two meter bridge across the pond, made out of green house aluminum.

      Shed made for the Railway.
      Some of the sidings in the basement.
      The basement Station.

       More basement sidings.

Into the Shed !
          The railway & the shed.

     This section is really ageing after 20 years of use !  I have replaced a few of the trestles.


     Above, a few shots of the derelict station.
        Early shots of my On 30 railway in the roof. It has completely changed over the years.
        It was too low, for an old bloke to work on !
        I like laying track, if it works !
                            Thi has all changed !
           This bit is still there !
          I enjoy working in the roof, when the weather is not too good !




         Nice Loco, it is a Playmobile.





        Out of the basement, over the pond.
                 Nice reflections !





      A very nice G scale coach.
