    Thanks Barry, I made the hedges out of green Scotchbrite kitchen scourers cut into strips soaked in PVA white glue and rolled in fine ground cover. The new layout will have a rural Aussie theme but nowhere in particular, it is called "Dingo Ridge" supposedly a private railway set in the 1950s...

    Just a few pics of my loco's which of course are British, I have only just started my new layout "Dingo Ridge" which is freelance in every way, not wanting to part with my OO Scale locomotives and rolling stock I decided to give the whole lot a repaint and a couple of other modifications to sort...

    What is your age?

    Crikey I stopped counting years ago but since I was born in the UK 1943 I guess that makes me 66, yikes when I was in my 20s I thought anyone 66 was over the hill but now I got there I like to think I am still in the valley, except for the bits of titanium in the ticker I feel great.

    Ha Ha Rico top secret business that but a hint is because most Aussies have red faces, some because of to much sun, some because of to much booze and some because the blood has run to their heads, kind of proof that we are an upside down mob of folks.
