Latest train update!

Despite a lack of updates, trains have run and things have happened,

The line has invested in its first electric loco, it’s a fantastic beast and looks amazing running round the garden,

I’ve also acquired the second set of iron ore wagons, which now fitted with metal give a very pleasing sound over the rail joints,

The full set of iron ore wagons just fits in some of the loops, so will need careful planning when in use as to where to stable them.

Another issue that has become apparent is that running electric locos on a line not built for them is the clearance issue for the pantograph, but this will be fixed in due time with fishing wire

Latest update, it’s taken several weeks to due to interruptions but weather and Christmas but today saw the first test of the extended station loop,

Only one track is currently complete, as the earth works are quite finished, but trains can now run round the entire garden.

Just need the return the buildings to the correct homes when the storms finish
