We also went to Melbourne and Perth whilst we where there. Beautiful country, fabulous people.
Coming back to the layout, did you do the photography? They are superb.

Hi there Paul, I know Hornsby quite well and was pleased to hear you had a good time in Oz, ha ha one of the few to climb the Harbour Bridge great I have never done it.

Regarding the lighting of the layout it is located in a 10ft x 5ft steel shed, I lined the inside walls with 1 inch thick Styrofoam sheet that is used for refrigeration this was painted white, I have one 2 foot and one 3 foot Fluorescent Light that gives me a nice bright place to work with the advantage of having good reflective light for photographs no flash necessary, the camera was a well used Lumix FZ5 set to aperture priority f8 and I used the self timer and let the camera do its own thing, how digital has made things easy these days.

David.
