Nice Day To Run A Train

[Anonymous]

 After almost two weeks of work to re ballast and repair an 8 ft section of track  , i got to run an engine for the first time this year, I still have some more work to do yet , putting some houses out and plant some flowers .  tomorrow i'll  put an engine and about 15 cars to see that no derailments  happen .  BEN

You got that right Ben, We hosted train club on Sunday; spent 3 days getting layout ready to run.

Sure glad I used SS track so I didn't have to waste a bunch of time cleaning track.  Did a quick reballast job, and now going back and using an adhesive/bonder to try holding ballast longer.

The weather has been very cooperative lately, so I have begun on my RR- that is to say I have begun with the pool, then the front yard, then the garage, then the gutters, THEN the RR at some point

 Overall not too much to do really, once I clean out the weeds and clean the track I don't forsee any real issues.  Maybe one nice day, 6 or 7 hours, it should be just fine.  Wish I could say the same for Town- most of the buildings are no longer useable- BUT that can only mean that I must start right away building some new ones

 Hello T.J.

Good hearing from you , today i had to rebuild my water wheel at the pond ,didn't get it finished , must go to Lowe's and get some big washers to use as spacers on the shaft between the water wheel and bearing , all good things take time .  I didn't get the buildings out along the tracks today .  tomorrow is another day .  Ben

Hi Benny, On my side of the pond we were lucky to get a few days running in march but since then the weather has been to cold and high winds. Looking forward to some warmer weather so can get out and put a new road on my layout the people that live there are fed up getting their feet wet.
