Moonan Flat

We have working signals at Moonan Flats
I got a bit of time to play signals tonight, the bit I wasn't looking forward too, the under board part lucky the layout is quite high and I could sit on a low stool to install a bracket for the return springs and a couple of eyelets for the wire guide
Mount the 2 levers connect the link and tested amazingly it worked first go.

He will need it our $-£ exchange rate is a killer on the wallet.

 

and Gary thinks he's going for a weekend of R&R

if Gary wanted anything in particular from a supplier or shop in UK he should order and pay for it before going Less VAT and arrange to pick up whilst there.

Make sure you have an empty bag Gary I'll put in my order now for you to pick up You will only need a T shirt and a clean pair of pants, so there will be plenty of room for a couple of 08's well wagons etc Gary trust me, it won't be cold that's the time of year it warms up for us

Ha $30 is quite reasonable in our money esp to U.K.

It cost me near that much to send a small box of train bits to Sydney last week from my place and it's only a one hour journey

 

The Big loco as Center piece on the table for train Night at Moonan Flats
After months I again have a Live steam 1/32 scale C38 No3801
Long story, short version the first one I received has several mechanical / engineering defects that would have required a complete strip down to rectify. Something not acceptable when purchasing a New model of this Type.

This new one look like it's a well built model, unlike the last one it was a "A Friday Build" you may say.
The radio control gear worked first go so it is now a matter of steaming it up seeing if all is good.
