Interesting pics. Nice modelling.

One small nit: that wooden truss bridge on eth Broke Brick Mountain 
layout would fall down in real life. The top and bottom chords of a 
wooden truss must compress the vertical and diagonal members between 
them. This is achieved by using threaded wrought iron rods supported by 
iron plates (large washers, really), which are tightened up to supply 
the compression.

Google Wood Howe Truss for more information.

I've uploaded 22 more pictures of Broke Brick Mountain. These can be
seen starting at http://mikehughes627.fotopic.net/p51453737.html

Charlie fox-Wilson has already made some changes ready to make the
layout even larger that it already is. The latest photos record the work
that he's done so far. You will have to be quick to see them as Charlie
tells me there will be even more to be photographed in about 4 weeks
time as he expects to have the extension built by then.

Anyone near the village hall at Firle East Sussex on Monday 25 August
can get a view of this layout and South Shore Model Railroad Club member
Cliff South's Ashley, Danville and Deanstown Railroad (AD&D). They are
raising money for a charity which helps provide teaching facilities in
rural Gambia. I will post a reminder with further info nearer the date.

Failing this both layouts will be at South Shore Railroad Club's show on
21 March 2009 at Boundstone College, Sompting, West Susses. Details from
the web site www.southshore.org.uk. Make a note in your diary to come
and say hello.

It seems that I've become the club's amateur, unpaid, unofficial,
untrained photographer as Cliff has already asked me to take photos of
the updated AD&D for posting to my fotopic site. I can only post a
limited representation of the layouts so both Charlie and Cliff have
told me that they will be setting up their own fotopic sites some time
soon where we can post a fuller range of photos for your viewing
pleasure. I'll post the url's when we get them (about 2-3 weeks).

In the meantime enjoy the photos.
