Time flies by.....

Well, it seems that Christmas is now upon us, so I decided to get in early, and as per usual I have wasted a bit of time, resources and cash on creating this years Christmas card. so enjoy.

The Christmas tree is created from one Noch 20 odd foot conifer, some 'hundred and thousands' for baubles, a little frayed golden/silver gift ribbon for tinsel applied with PVA glue, then plonked behind the signal box at Victoria Street.

So, all the best for the season, stay safe, avoid family dramas, and remember it is all about the kids.

From under the wires and the plastic pine needles,

Regards Glenn

VICTORIA_ST

A small model tramway layout loosely based on the Melbourne Metropolitan Tramway Board (MMTB). OO scale with a few HO blow ins, now running DCC for prototypical tight headways and lighting options.

Originally set up as a test track, like all layouts it evolved into some thing more, with a slight west suburban slant towards its location.

The modules are only 57cm long by 19cm deep, now there are seven modules, (railway station and racecourse, the original modules), another module is the undecorated fiddle yard ( now the Ammo Factory module), and the two later modules are (the railway gates and the bend, Epsom Rd), plus the latest instalments (The Junction and the Depot).

Victoria St can run as an end of line tramway, a heritage/regional (SEC) line, and a shuttle passenger service with short shunting at the station to service extra punters for the racecourse to a time table run to a 3:1 .

Enjoy, Glenn
