That's going to add so much potential... looking forward to the updates...

I hope so... as trains at Swan Hill run round outside the station (run round loops inside seem to take more than their share of very limited space), the extension to Vineyard Hill permits that and increases overall movement activity.

Of course, Rome famously was built on seven hills (though not in a day) - just sayin'.

Ah yes, the eternal city...

Interesting developments!

 

It's good to get an overview of things. I've just revisited your January entry to help visualise the station end, and I assume the header photo here shows the viaduct end and future hole in the wall. 

 

Are you building the complete viaduct in one go, or only part of it until the hole in the wall is made?

Overview... yes!

The hole in the wall is made.  The viaduct is made but as yet undetailed - no rivets and detail.  The current header shows the hole (old photo). The baseboard for Vineyard Hill will wait on finding the Vineyard Hill end of the viaduct to get the location exact, (it was nearly a ferro-cement viaduct but...). The viaduct is a separate "baseboard" which can be removed and the hole shuttered against the cold.  Then, before winter sets in, "car port" (model port) baseboard making.

The modeller's apprentice has learned much from Swan Hill but has a long way to go yet.
