A few shots taken just before the public was invited in. It was a bit of a rush to get the loco shed moved from the old location at El Boixar to the yard in Montsià, with a top-to-tail refurbishment in between - both the new tiled roof and the cobbled area around it use more cheapo bathmat! As the heat of the day increased, I watched the water crane lean over more and more as the glue had not set, so that's more remedial work to do. All in all a successful event - the first time anyone other than a few family and friends have seen the railway, and it was fun to introduce so many fellow villagers to the delights of garden railways.

Thankfully Dra. Estrecha had managed to arrange for some plants still to be in flower, though the garden is not at its best in July:
Street:
And the lucky visitors even got to see El Jefe's legs!
