Some unexpected extra energy over the weekend and a chance acquisition of an extremely large lot of secondhand Peco track meant I could finally finish the extension off.
It needs a bit more work but this allows me to focus back on some more Australian rollingstock and to finish the mine triangle/loader.
The second and third trains into the new loop!
Both of the railways Porters are finally together running on RC! Alexander was kind enough to leave one of his controllers here which allowed dad and I to have a short running session.
D1 the railways boxcab waits for Alexanders Steam tram to enter the loop.
D1 having a well deserved rest between work.
Load test!
D1 runs a combined empty ore and supplies train back to the mine (D3 and the mystery EE featuring in the background)
The future mine interchange. the siding to the left will be for empties to be exchanged for loaded ones, behind the guards van is a point that will eventually join back to the siding on the right creating a triangle. This area will require its own dedicated shunter eventually, most likely one of the lines 3 porters.
second passenger service to the new station.
A rare ray of sunshine.
And finally heres a drivers eye view of the entire mainline https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-wn9ECwP3Y&t=46s
