Packing up the layout, moving out

I am dismantling and packing up the Wampo, Nieke and Sonkrai railway.  An increasing workload meant that I wasn’t working on the layout.   In the end, I decided to take early retirement and move back to the small town on the west coast of British Columbia where I grew up.

This is a shot of my model of the famed Wampo viaduct, with a Japanese C56 locomotive pulling a boxcar and a passenger carriage.

The Sonkrai trestle bridge, built largely from bamboo skewers, emulating the rough logs used in the original bridge.
