    Rush City yard has been resurrected at work. it was in storage and I was worried it might get damp!
    I set it up in a spare room, plugged the Digitrax controller in and away went the switcher first time..
    Got some cleaning up to do and a couple of little jobs but very pleased it's survived OK!

    Nice. It's always fun to pull out the old layout and have a run (test) ! :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

    I have had one point do the same thing on Jay Dub North Yard... I'm thinking of replacing it instead as the locos tend to stall on it all the time.

    Cheers, Gary.

    Getting up at 4am???:eek: That's not 'retirement' Ron, that's punishment. The only 4 o'clock in my day is in the afternoon when I sit down for a coffee!:avatar::avatar:
    As a now deceased mate of mine used to say, "If I felt that energetic, I'd lie down 'til the feeling went off!"
    Cheers,

    New scratch built goods shed, still needs some work doing to it. It's replacing the Rush City corn storage silo's as I move towards a British goods yard.

    Methinks it will be changing from a 'Rush City' to a 'Sleepy Hollow' :avatar:
