Its been 3 months since #454 was finished and I finally got around to doing some serious running. These pictures might be of interest to those of you who are getting the 1.20.3 big brother. The curves are 4 ft radii and this 1.22.5 version does nt look too bad on the overhang shots. I shant be joining the mass exodus to 1.20.3, rather keep that scale for the logging devison of the rairoad. Funny when I started sorting out the shots it occured to me how the garden is stating to mature. Trudgin across the tundra

Mile after mile, trudgin across the tundra

I grew up with O-27, so those curves look almost like tangents to me!

Beautiful shots.

Nice pics, Rod. I really like the use of the heath and heathers. Heaths do well here but our summers are too hot and humid for most heathers. I also really like the lattice work trestle, simple yet elegant.
