You certainly are a legend on this forum.

Thanks 'brickie'.....that's a first being called a legend.....my wife calls me other things instead !

The plans for the town layout might be changing.....the Target Country might be taking it's place instead of the row of shops.....I'll have to see how it looks.
Keep watching !

It's now more than likely that Target Country will be joining my town.....Tuesday I will be setting up the part of town to do with it and seeing where/how it will look.....updating then.
Keep watching !

My apologies LT, I didn't get back to you about this as I wasn't so well during December and January. Anyway i had the think about it and found some suitable pictures of railway objects that can be found by the lineside that might help with dressing up the railway side of New Mannum. I looked for Australian pictures and I think what I managed to find was a fairly representative selection.

Lineside shed.


Speed advisory boards.


Various lineside objects,


More lineside objects.


Level crossing sign.

Thanks 'Annie' for the suggestions.....I'll look into some of them in the next two weeks.
Keep watching everyone.

So are you taking a break with New Mannum LT? I was just wondering with some of the Canadian buildings you've been doing lately.

Ah, you see most of New Mannum is complete for the moment - final work in mid-March.
The Canadian stuff is just extra fill so the display isn't boring.
Keep watching......because you never know what's next !

REBIRTH 2013



More to come......so keep watching !

YAY i really like this layout :D

Thanks 'timmy' and it continues......

More to come.....keep watching !

Another image tonight.....more to come !

Always good to see new photos of New Mannum.

With the lighting and the sheen on the road it looks like a rain shower has just passed over the town.

Buildings are done, only curbing, etc., to be done......above you see the add-on sections to what I posted yesterday.....keep watching !

Thanks 'Annie'.......oh, the lighting can play tricks !

Any suggestions for the sides of the Elders building.....I was wondering should I pave some road to the right side of it.....just like at the other end of the main street where the pub is ?

This one will be joining New Mannum real soon.....

A little more work to the Caltex........

Looking very good LT. That's a cool service station. We have Caltex service stations here too and you've caught the look of one very nicely.

Thanks 'Annie', it's actually for a contest 'LCM' is running independently of the mod's on EB but it will be joining the town on it's own 48x48......solving a problem I had.....perfect.

Now why don't I reuse this topic eh ?
Well, okay.....update time boys and girls ! LOL


More to come so keep watching !

More to come so keep watching !

I have just noticed that in 2 days I will have been on this forum for four years......man, I might have to build something special eh ?  

It's certainly an achievement reaching four brick years of posting on forums but also when you pull the calculator out to gaze upon your statistics you average 340 posts per year which is almost one per day.
 
How do you do it Lightningtiger as I would of thought your fingers would be close to getting bricked to the bone having built so much in that time !!!

Keep on bricking, mate  

So is this 'New New Mannum'  It's looking good!

And 4 years wow, that's a lot of MOCs and a lot of bricks, congrats!!

Happy building  

Thanks 'timmy', it's had so many rebirths it not funny !  
Keep watching......because the tiger isn't finished !

Here is a progress shot of the latest NM w-i-p......

Keep watching !

Bad news folks, I've had to order the parts I need.....three weeks at least......I'm still up for suggestion on other features I could add to this......and before anyone says ATM....I'm planning one to go inside....hence the sign on the window.....keep watching anyway.
