You can also use the offset tool to get a smaller radius circle which is what I did when I drew this (simply because I could): Just offset the difference between the min 'allowed' radius (or whatever you've drawn the circle at) to what you need it to be. Matt.

Aww come on! That's not a model, that's the real thing!!!! Matt.

Looks exceptional! Can't think of anything else to say really, other than probably the two most appropriate words; Proper Job! Matt.

Is 1089 not able to run tomorrow? Am thinking about going, mainly for the heritage train. Sad, aren't I! Matt.

Ice Scream anyone? Matt.

I supose the 1:1 scale Aussie gum trees in the background don't help either! Matt.

Few more from me. Somewhere in Cornwall, and in the pouring rain, 37 671 heads light engine to a china clay works Some time later, 37 671 is seen again, returning with a train of bagged clay The following two were taken at the same time as the previous one, just with different camera settings Matt.

Reminds me of the story where James has to haul his train and also push a stranded Toby. When they get to the station, a group of schoolboys start teasing James saying that he wasn't able to pull the train and had to be helped by Toby! Matt.

Fair enough, just had quick google search as I've never actually seen a 3800 class before. Matt.

That's..... different! Add a bit of maroon to it and it'd look like it was sponsored by the Brisbane Roar! Matt.

Time to inject a little bit of Aussie into this thread! Not up to the mind-blowingly excellent quality of other shots on here, but I'm happy with it. Matt.

Walked into the kitchen earlier while mum was getting dinner and casually informed her the sink had a leek in it. I just about went without dinner! Matt.

Originally built for the now long gone Tyers Valley tramway was it not? Must find a excuse to get down to the PBR again sometime! Good idea with this thread David. Although heritage trains are running around in the present day, the trains themselves aren't really 'modern' are they! *ducks* Matt.

Blimey, the headshunt on triangle at Thornside must only just be big enough to fit the loco and water tank!!! Great pics as usual David. Gary, PN004 is narrow gauge, as there is no standard gauge connection to Moolabin Yard. Can't answer how many triangles are still around though, sorry. As promised, here's my video. I wasn't part of the trip, so only of the Bethania portion is shown, except for arrival and the beginning of the turning sequence (I arrived at the same time as the train). Also, as this is the first time I've uploaded to youtube, I'm not sure if I've done something wrong because the video is narrower than the copy on my laptop. Sorry about the shakiness in some parts. Mix of getting bumped, slipping camera and shaky hand. Matt.

^^^^ and a few from earlier in the day at Bethania: Hopefully there'll be a video from me soon if youtube doesn't fubar it! Matt.

Cheers for that David. If I'm able I remember, I might try and get to Bethania and get a few pics. Matt.

Cheers for the comments guys, I can't wait to see it finished either! Just a quick update on the shed, I finished adding the stumps today and glued the steps on. Matt.

G’day everyone. Over the past few weks, I have finished cladding the goods shed and have made a start on the roof. Basically it’s just a bit of corrugated plastic sheet cut to size and laminated to a piece of thick card (also cut to size), then repeat for the other half of the roof. In the last two pics, the two halves of the roof are just sitting in place with friction, so I could see how dark it was inside. The parts of the foamcore where I’ve cut around the doors and windows were only just visible, so once the doors are glued on and rollingstock is in the way once it is positioned on the layout, from normal viewing distance, seeing the gaps shouldn’t be a problem. I have also begun adding the stumps to the shed. So far, only the stumps around the edges of the structure have been added, the remaining 29 will get added over time. The roof is again being held on with friction in the last two pics. In other news, my trip to the Brisbane show on May 4 has resulted in me finally getting couplers for the two wagon kits I've started, as well as the required paints. I also bagged a new book on QR history, a set of level crossing signs for my unfinished 2011 Challenge diorama and another kit for the workbench. I'll elaborate on the kit when I start construction, but that won't be until I've got everything else I need to complete it. I'll give you a hint though, when finished, it will be green. Well, for now at least, that's all folks! Comments and criticism welcome as usual. Cheers, Matt.
