Now the control problems seem to have been resolved by that most simple of expedients, i wanted to do a few of the jobs to get progress back on track to where we should be. One of these is the engineers train - this appears early in the sequence, parks up in east siding (infront of the signal box) and stays there till late in the sequence - in the meantime the engine has detached gone back to the fiddle and appears as an engine and brake van move every so often.

Ive been busy in my hotel room in Middlesbrough this week (well theres b*gg*r all else to do there) putting chairs on sleepers and painting them for the loads in the opens on this train (plus 3 dogfish and a shark perhaps the siding should be renamed Macfisheries siding?),the intention is to put loose sleeper loads in the opens and put some piles of new sleepers in the cess in the open and somewhat barren strtech between the signal box and two bridges road.
