Leaf fall season

[pghewett]

Nearly the end of the operating season and a damp gloomy day down here in Surrey but Engiadina, just back from a Mike Darby recabling exercise, produced some good steam effects - just don't look to closely to see whether we removed the last few leaves from the track.

Nice. Looks great with the condensing steam.

Now - the question is whether I can be ***** to go out when it's really cold for even better effects. [Go on, you know you can...].

I love my trees
I love my trains
But when the leaves leave
They are such a pain.

So I came up with this; http://youtu.be/rF6UbVv7kFM I'm not the only one either

Anyone got a spare Aristo RDC ?

What a nifty machine! (Might not be powerful enough, though, against the especially wet leaves that make a bee line for my track, there to form a nice sticky paste... Sandite, anyone?)
