"just a blog"

Sunday was an eventful day for Briers Grove. Having spent the last few evenings cleaning the track in sections, I decided to just turn the power on and see what ran.

First out was the 0-4-0 Elkin shunter, so far so good, no stops and starts.

Second on the line was the Briers Grove 0-4-0 shunter, took it round to the fiddle yard and took out two GWR coaches and they ran a treat, though one point was sticking.

Left the running for a time, sorted some kits out and then some modelling, went back to running and the current was working around the track nicely - some good running. Ended the evening running a class 58 diesel and the two shunters with stock.

Also tested the next modelling stage for the curve, one minor adjustment to positioning and it was sorted.

Had two sticky points, that I know about, but all in all, I'm really happy.
