pitbull1845 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Not much to report recently. No new crane, no helix, no change of TOC or period or area. Good job too, it's not all its cracked up to be! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ess1uk Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) We did manage to get the train set down on the kitchen floor for a couple of hours last Sunday afternoon but all the locos ran poorly and the little tank gave up all together Think some depot time for the fleet needs to be booked in before next operating day. No other modelling done except to try and sort out some couplings on wagons so they stay coupled. It's snowing this morning so the garden can wait again and I can attempt to fix some rolling stock. I must weather those VEAs a bit more! Edited March 5, 2013 by ess1uk 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ess1uk Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Pray for rain or it's digging in the garden tomorrow! Really want to get the space in the garage ready to put up some boards so track laying can be done. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ess1uk Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 posted the other one as thought i might get a quicker response than on here with my limited following. not much to report layout wise, though i was offered a Hornby trainset for £25 on Saturday which i snapped up to give me another tank loco for the kids to play with whilst the other one is getting sorted. loads of track and a controller thrown in too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ess1uk Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 Day 4 and it's still too cold in the garage, added to I'm not feeling great has meant little achieved other than cleaning loco wheels and removing fluff and stuff from rolling stock. Still got a couple of locos that need some attention though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ess1uk Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Day 5 and it's warming up! I'm feeling better too First full day of Ruby sitting as Mrs Ess is away for 4 nights. Test track aka train set is operational in lounge and pleased to say locos are running fine after a clean. Only thing is there are a few Lego people hitching rides in the open wagons. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
