And only a South African would take photos of his food for all the world to see   ;)

I have a lot of friends that teased me about cucumber sarmies, plus we landed there in foot and mouth pandamic of 2001, so I had to point out the massive t-bone I got. The Irish are not keen on bone in meat... Sheep neck for potjie cost 1 punt.

Nothing yet. Will possibly use double sided tape later on, but for now only dressing pins. :innocent:

Completed the track laying! This Kato track sure works fast...

Also took some pictures of the rtrack connecting across modules. Gonna be a little pedantic at first but I think I made the best choice for now...

Ed, I assume Kato does not make an extendable track section?

We have used the Fleishmann extendable sections with quite some success in both HO and N scale to span the module joint sections.

This helps to compensate for track and/or wood expanding/contracting due to temp and humidity changes...
