David Woodhead's On3 Page

Dec. '11 -  Progress on the layout. Several of these were taken on what was formerly Stanley Windrim's yard, which runs
well after several years out of service, a credit to his trackwork. Some of the structures were built by Stan as well.

Well, OK, this is On2, but here's my new North Hastings Feldspar Company display layout
at the '09 Schomberg Narrow Gauge Show:





And here under construction:

The loco is Bachmann converted to On2 by Keith Sirman's Dad, and to which I added a Backwoods Miniatures flat-topped tank,
Miniatures by Eric Cab and fuel bunker cut down from a Bachmann 0-4-2T. Temporary structures, On3 on the upper level.
More narrow gauge on the Schomberg Show Page.

Dave also did some drive work on the loco, improving a previous re-motoring job.
Inspired by OR&W locos first 4 and 5, their smaller 4-4-0s.

which fortunately blended in all right after painting!
