The signals look great-  rare to see decent 'authentic' semaphore ones

I'd like to report this photo as offensive. I'm offended by how awesome it looks and how I'll never see anything like that myself.

Thanks lads

Fab scene. Reminds me of Waterford station of old, when full Mk2 and Mk3 rakes were regular traffic at the station that once had 3 through roads.

It’s the low rail adhesion season on Tara junction, we see the first of the 001 class locomotives-(054)-prepare to be moved onto the wheel lathe at the MPD.

Fabulously atmospheric - I can smell the oil, grease and metal shavings. Lovely

Evening rush hour on Tara junction….

Both 2600 railcars have been fitted with an upgraded chassis which have sound speakers fitted as standard,

They also have interior lighting and have seated commuters and of course drivers….!!!!

[Rush and Lusk]

Fabulous scenes again Noel - how about a short video on these 2600's ?. 

BTW - Which manufacturer supplies the track maintenance/engineering figures ? - always admired them on your layout.

And possibly BNSF in the future...

[Dempsey]

Some American power will be on my target list in the future.
