Cheddar P4 - playtime
I've put the two latest boards together and after a little bit of fettling am properly playing trains.
It only represents a quarter of the layout but by golly is it fun! I'm really enjoying shunting wagons around. Just playing for 5 minutes puts me in a better mood. Must be something in this hobby malarkey.
It's quite interesting how the odd wagon derails occasionally for no apparent reason then when you really, really look, you see some tiny defect that explains why. Oddly satisfying.
I've taken a couple of short videos. Hopefully the links work
Up yard and twin train operation.
I'm testing with class 08s only because they're the closest things I had to hand. The photo shows a more appropriate pannier shuffling about and the building mock ups add a sense of scale. The last photo shows the much improved alignment into the down yard which I'm much happier about.
