Wednesday 4th January 2017

Worklist:
Play trains
Crane details
Grass

The first meeting of 2017.

Stephen hoovered the layout, cleaned the track and ran a test train. As usual, this exercise picked up numerous little issues that he and Geoff worked on, including a broken rail joint, dodgy point-motor micro-switch, 'Grass on the track'. Laurence continued to work on the yard crane.

Geoff continued to potter with grass, both applying some prepared strips and also making up some new strips using suggestions he'd researched.

Stephen ran his stock for the remainder of the morning and Laurence had a running session in the afternoon. There were several Kadee's found to be in need of attention, and those magnet positions can be a bit tricky. All part of the fun of a running session!

Peco van converted to a brakevan, Peco van and freelance/WD type van.

Freelance body on Fleischman 0-4-0 chassis, Peco and freelance open wagons.

Geoff and Stephen agreed that a fence along the front of the layout would be nice.


We're going to need some extra cassettes.

Laurences Peco van and an interesting load on a Peco whitemetal flat wagon.
