Seems that most of the rain went up thru the LA area and we didn't get much of anything out of it down here, but it sure had some people runnin' around in a dither for awhile.

We got 1 1/2" of rain here at our house mostly over friday night

   Have fun with your trains

Looks to me like Kim's dispatcher was running around busy as a one armed paperhanger!   He handled a veritable plethora of traffic and no evidence of a wreck!

Well Done!

Hi Ben, that was Troy who built the trollies and yes, he's still at it. After I posted the pics the sun came out again, typical. Nice to hear from you.

Cheers,

Kim

Autumn is getting a grip on the Brit countryside now so I thought I would have as much stock on the track as I could. True to form it's now started raining and I just got it all away in time.

Enjoy the pics.
