Forgive my multiple posts, but I can't get the advanced uploader to work, so its 1 photo per entry

15 months after construction start and where am I up too. By the end of November 2008 we had the all the track laid and all the electrics in place and working. This quick deadline was in place due my impending marriage and a work relate move of 1600km. Believe it or not, on the nite of my wedding we even stole some time to go to the shed and run some trains, with the consent of the newly name Mrs Noswal. The layout survived the 1600km road move and I had set-up again by January. The extreme hot weather in Jan-Feb was not conducive to working in the garage, added to this having to fulfil my childhood fantasy as volunteer fire fighter and fighting the devastating fires that hit Victoria on black Saturday Feb 7th 2009.

The above photo was taken from approximately 6m above ground and shows the entire layout. The left-hand end connects to the traverser when at exhibitions or to the 1.4m run around board when I have it set up at home. The maze of tracks at the top of picture is my fiddle yard, I can have 3 major trains (9 coaches plus or 30-40 coal wagons) plus 2 smaller trains (2-3 coaches) in each direction. You can kind of make out the black line indicating where the backscene was to be installed.
