Summer Sun

Over the past few weeks, Sydney has been cooking, Queensland being covered with flood water, and more recently been blown about by cyclone Yasi. Closer to home several plants on the railway have dried out, and they look rather dead. Occasionally the trains come out for a run, several Garden Railway afternoon tea's being arranged, providing the perfect opportunity (and excuse) to bring out most of our rolling stock at once, a rare event.
Also a few additions to the "set" have been made, such as this building and another Mini Cooper, not sure whether the place is going to be a shop, a house or something else yet...it needs a sign of some sort.
Also, following some hunting on ebay.....some plans were dug up of Isle of Man rolling stock, guards van construction progresses, however I am still a bit stumped (or stopped) for how I am going to bend the carriage sides to the contour illustrated by the ends in the picture above, a jig will probably be employed.
