What did you do to yours today?

Today I’m going to finish the groundwork in the goods yard.

Back to more traditional modelling today, no cakes, nothing on the computer (unless you count the printer humming away in the background). 

 

1st up. Some test running of a Farish 108, that was DOA so was sent straight back for a warranty repair (very quick it was too). Seems to run just as I would expect it to now so it has been running in for the rest of the afternoon.

 

 

2nd up, out with the soldering iron and return to a Worsley works dia150 centenary composite brake corridor coach. Having left this alone for the last couple of years I now feel like I am getting somewhere with it. 

 

 

 

There is going to need to be a lot of cleaning up with this coach when it is finished.

The Fleischman 6730 controller that I bought from eBay arrived today - in excellent condition too!  I absolutely love it, as I seem to have had an incurable mental block regarding the "Forward and Reverse" switch when using my Gaugemaster controller, resulting in numerous derailments!  Operations are now100% improved.

Took a sizeable slice off my index finger today.  Two hours in A and E, time for a cuppa - oh, and order a safety ruler off eBay.....

I didn't "do" anything construction-wise today to my American O Scale layout today....

..... but I did have a 'quicky' operating session. Collecting 2 incoming freight cars from the Interchange, and delivering them to 2 Industries on the 3-spur freight branch, and collecting 3 outbound 'empty' cars, whilst leaving 2 others on-spot already unloading, & taking the 3 outbounds back to the interchange, took about an hour. Who needs complicated track plans or artificial 'shunting puzzles' to have fun playing trains??!!
