Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
I always love the muted colours of your photographs Grant, nothing too striking to draw the eye to one thing in particular, at the expense of the image as a whole.
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?
Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
I appreciate the comments, thanks everyone.

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
The figures and smoke really bring that mill to life; it has to be one of my favourite line-side industries I've seen, in any scale. That conical spark arrestor quite suits the Regner.

Had a quiet run today with some log bogies and the Lumberjack.
That curve from t'other side! Ted knocks back the throttle on the approach to the road crossing into Nayook. Grant.

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Great photos, Grant. Somehow, you always seem to get the light just right. Do you generally try and take photos early or late in the day?

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
A few shots from today's run with the Hunslet. Full sun but a cool breeze showed up the steam for once.

Great pictures, Grant
I'm sure you've posted some before, but I don't recall having seen the trestle before

Nice as always, Grant.
I love the view of the watermill in the background through the trestle, makes it seem more 'real' somehow.

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Oooooooooooooo!
I just love it when Grant posts more photo's. I really feel like I'm there when I look at them - almost to the point of smelling warm creosote and steam and hearing the escaping steam from the loco's over the noise of the countryside surroundings.
Thanks Grant, you've improved my day no end!
