After a month or so of having muscle problems with my left shoulder, I'm finally able to move properly so some light duties today cleaning the garden railway track.
The track cleaning loco finally gave up the ghost today - its is defunct etc.... 😢 Well it is the 13th Sunny Sunday post, so I'll accept some bad luck 😕 So it was back to using my trusty track rubber on a broom handle and a light workout for 20 minutes to get the track clean.
So with the track clean I hooked up the track power controller and got the Bagnall 2-8-2 out for a run....
A nice long run for the loco and its train; I enjoyed sitting on the garden bench and watching it run round. On picking up the loco to put it away, the '13 effect' struck again 😡 The smoke box assembly at the front of the boiler came away... an emergency visit to the loco repair shop resulted. The glue had dried out and a thin bit of plasticard had snapped - thankfully some contact adhesive and superglue had things back in place.

Great to see these video of the train in motion.
I really enjoyed the video too.
