It's a bridge (sort of) to cross the window.

Let's face it this is one of the most beautiful views in the world! It shouldn't be blocked...
For long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be

Will easily take 4 tracks - maybe 6 if I want...

Can't decide if I must use Kato Unitrack or Peco code 55... ???

That is a very special view.
Pity about that lamp pole.

I have thought about the pole having an "accident" but the added security it offers make me forgive it...

My thoughts as well Jörg.

Ed just let us know when to remove it.

Love the bridge.

The progress that you are making in your train room is awesome Ed. I really think the shelf in front of the window is a brilliant idea. The final result will be amazing. I am hoping that one day I will make my way over there and see it myself.

So, almost a year and a half down the line, excuse the pun, I have started on the layout again.

I started a new job in August of 2021 but it was a toxic place and it took me a year to resign. I luckily found a new job straight away and its 10 million times better, just a little tiring as I have to go in to the office in Hermanus once a week. 

But I finally started on the layout again…

It’s back to work tomorrow so I thought I better get something done before I take a few more rib shots…

First I had to figure out the lefthand side benchwork. Came up with this idea.
