I was planning a weekend of just running, as Lady Wife is off down the coast visiting with a friend. However, the problems of small rodents nibbling at the wires ruined yesterday but that's all fixed now. Today we've had some light rain, so I decided to do a bit of pottering.
Replaced the polyfuse and microswitch magnet on the last of my Train-Li R7 switches (than you Axel, a great piece of kit) and decided to finish the Toad, which has been dragging on since last May.
As it's raining a bit, the photos were taken on the test track on the garage workbench rather than on the railway.
Just waiting for the 'home depot' stencil of 'Farnham Common' between the G and the W and a coat of mat varnish. But to my eyes it seems to past the 10' test of a run down, narrow gauge version of GW Toad.
