Tony's Garden
« on: February 28, 2020, 02:33:05 am »
Hi,

We have plenty of tables here in Madeira but nothing to put on them so, I went through some old files on the lap top and put together the following:



Not quite the thing but I hope it is enjoyed.

Regards Tony.

Most enjoyable. Thank's Tony, now tell me. Was that filmed on location in your backyard? No wait, don't tell me.
I wish we had clubs around here with the different gauge tracks.

Hi Tommy,

Now tell me. Was that filmed on location in your backyard? No wait, don't tell me.

Yes our back garden, there is a circle of dual gauge track to allow me to test Gauge  stock, all of mine is Gauge 0.

As my wife would say we are blessed if you are into model railways.  The CMES grounds are about a mile from where we live.  If you haven't already seen it this is a typical (well the sun sometimes doesn't shine) open day.  The first of this year will be in about four weeks time.



Take care.

Tony.

I think that video was JUST the thing Tony, and I definitely enjoyed getting a nice dose of railroading in with you here!!!

Hi Tommy,

 England!!!!!Its Great Britain or the United Kingdom or if you wish to be accurate for where I live Wales.

I joke: I hope you make it some day.  We are not looking forward to returning home with the temperature drop and the rain!  In the four weeks in Madeira it has only railed one day.

Take care.

Tony.
