The 95% completed module at the Exhibition.
The Exhibition has come and gone. Very successful weekend. Over 22 000 people came through the gates. Here is a sneak peek video of how it looked and ran. It's better to view this at full screen resolution via the Youtube link.
I will now endeavor to post up all the construction details and photos for those who are interested over the next weeks or so. So visit regularly to see how it all came together. Can't wait to get it more than 95% complete by adding in all those unfinished details and replanting the trees after the transport back from the exhibition. And a few more stills....

There was much activity and excitement on the Orphan Valley Railway this week with the arrival of the re-acquisitioned Estrella & Sonora Grande RR #23 Davenport and 6 ore wagons shipped over from the US. Shay number 4 spent the week hauling the loco and wagons up to Orphan Valley heights to be then unloaded by the work crew. The crew quickly came to terms with the link and pin couplers. Here are shots of the unloading process. Click on the photos for a larger image. All the Edwards family are out to help with and view the unloading. Steady progress as the last ore wagon is prepared to be unloaded. W.R Edwards gives the OK to the davenport engineer Atkin, who has moved from the states to work with his favorite loco in the quarry. W.R. is slowly coming to terms with the deep, broad Arizona accent, and can't quite get over how broad his cowboy hat is. The other boys reckon it will be a great asset in the bright Aussie sun. The last wagon is off and the boy...
