Worklist:
Play trains.
As determined the previous week, a running session took place. First Stephen set up and ran the timber wagons he'd remembered to bring (the box of vans and wagons had been left at home in his workshop). Laurence then set-up several of his items and had a run. There was a dearth of passenger stock, that will need to be addressed in future.

| The Bachmann NG diesel that 'grounded' on the platform crossing boards (just visible). |
 |
| Scratchbuilt body on Bachmann Plymouth diesel. In the background is John's McEwan-Pratt WW1 scratch-built loco - a lovely runner affectionately known as t'the coffee grinder'. |
 |
| Scratch-built Deceauville on Fleischman chassis. Note the Snailbeach ore wagons in the goods shed(?) scratch-built by John. |
 |
| Johns collection of three-wheeled cards suggesting an enthusiasts meeting at the railway. |
 |
| Laurence in deep thought. |
Running different items of stock often 'throws-up' issues and the cranks of Laurence's Bachmann NG diesel 'beached' on the platform crossing boards. Out came Geoff's Dremel and rotary file, and the board was reduced.
General issues picked up that need to be addressed included a point motor has been playing-up lately and needs a regular tweak of the micro-switch arm. Lights in the goods shed have stopped working and the Tangye engine sound unit needs to be 'refreshed'.
