Last night at DRAG, we held the official 'opening' of TT2, with five trains running at the same time on each of the five circuits (4 x P4 and 1 x OO). With other stock lined up on the loops as well, the 'start line' looked most impressive!

My Class 25 makes for unexpected motive power on the 'Dawlish Donkey' set:

By happy coincidence, Mike Ainsworth, Secretary of the Scalefour Society, was visiting that evening, and watches the preparations on the other side of the test track, whilst 10800 tackles something on his Lion:

We didn't set out to build a race track, but someone did get a bit carried away with the unripened flying banana... ;)

Some bolt on cutting sides and you could have your very own Stoke Summit? Maybe in your case 'Swag Bank'? :drinks:
