Wonderful realistic atmosphere! Funny to see that there are people with exactly the same hobbies as I have myself; garden steam trains and player pianos. Is the black loco homebuilt?
The black loco was one of 4 built by Archangel a few years back. I have added lots of detail and repainted it in 1950 livery
It is one of The Stephenson built Cavan and Leitrim locos - there are some not very accurate drawings published by the 7mm Association in the UK which are still available 2 of them survive - one in the US (New Jersey) and another in the Ulster Folk museum.
Very nice plantings! 6" of snow cover my layout now. Many tree branches are laden with snow covering track as well.

All the rolling stock is built from scratch.
