New addition to alloway junction!



This is the newest addition to the alloway junction it was my christmas present. It will probably be upgraded to tmcc this summer. It is a nice looking engine the only thing wrong with it is that it's a noisy runner and the sounds aren't very good compared to todays standards. But that was late 80's early 90's technology. Here are a few pictures.


Mountain almost done











The only thing left to do on the mountain is put up the stone wall between the track and the mountain edge. Here are some progress shots.

Building a mountain
















I have been building a mountain over the past few days i thought the back of the layout looked a little boring so i ripped out a sidding that i never used and built this mountain. Here are some pictures of it so far. I will keep you updated on my progress. I always wanted to build a mountain but never wanted to deal with the problems people have with there big engines hitting the portals. Until i found a man on the OGR Fourm "Gizmo" who offered to build me


some oversozed portals. They are 11" wide from inside to inside so i don't think i will have any problems in
the future.

New Backdrops



I bought 3 backdrops from scenery express at York and finally got around to putting them up a week ago. They are in order mountain #1,#2#1. Here are some pictures of the recent upgrade on the alloway junction.
