Windmill

-

NSW in Early Winter is great - the air is crisp after rains, the sky bluer and the rustic hues come alive. Found a nice wind mill with lovely rust details. Love the matt effect of the rust on the mechanism. Wish I had my weathering powders here. This specimen is out at Narromine.

The other shot is of the shed nearby - love the greys in the corrugated iron, the hoops and the rust details.

Orphan Valley Heights coming alive. Over the last little while, I have gradually been upgrading the front scene of Orphan Valley Heights. The backscene had a refresh, the station has been built and installed, greenery is being refreshed and expanded, lighting installed, and the overall scene is becoming more balanced. Still a lot more little details and refinements to go. Here is an overall view, looking down the track from the artist residence to the the new Valley Heights Station.

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...
