Another work party before the evening meeting on Wednesday.  Five of us met to work, and another two joined us to run trains in the evening.  We did have things to do on the fiddle yard and corners, but opted for a spring clean and modifications to the store cupboard shelving.

We managed to compress some of the ‘stuff’ stored in the cupboard into a few storage boxes, and a number of old tins and boxes went for recycling.  Having raised the shelf in the cupboard, the layout fit fairly neatly underneath, and the support equipment fits on the shelf above with room to spare.

The usual circuit, but this is easy to put together, and works well….

With the DCC system wired up, Simon successfully ran a diesel set.  However, we were unable to get his steam loco to perform.  It may have been due to two people trying to operate one loco.  Typical ESNG – DCC allows two locos to run on one track.  ESNG tries to have two people run one loco.  Obviously we still have more to learn!

Simon had bought a Wisconsin Central loco for Allan, to go with his EWS locos.  Same owner, same livery.  It didn’t want to move though….

Elsewhere, there was plenty of UK stock on view….

Back on Sunday, then the next Wednesday meeting is the ESNG AGM.  No doubt there will be the usual keen competition for places on the committee….
