Pantograph testing with the 1st span installed. Next one later this week. May need to do 4. Note to self straight platforms are easier.

Little video of the pantographs in action. Pretty sexy!!

My hatred of the narrow gauge is renowned (too slow), but I salute you @Georgeconna for this Master Class in layout-building.

In particular your patience and skill with the "knitting" which looks a job and a half.

You say you've barely visited the place, but I recommend it. I usually spend ten days in the Tirol each year - like Switzerland it has mountains - but at half the price! I stay in the same hotel in Jenbach every year, but most years barely glance at either the Achenseebahn or the Zillertal. I probably do the steam train on the Zillertal about every other year - happily the Big railway still has lots of good stuff if you look hard enough.

Keep it up, I'm sure that we are all learning from this thread.

Too Kind Leslie,

I too turned my nose up at NG for ages but perhaps I now long for a slower pace these days!

I find myself viewing quite a lot of lovely European NG railways and these really capture my interest these days.

Somehow I don't see myself getting to Austria anytime soon but hope too in the future at some stage. Maybe get Air Power Airshow in at the same time.

cheers

George.
