Engine crews...

After some more testing on my battery locos today, have been selecting some of my old 'little people' that were out in the garden to use as engine crew. Here they are at first fit....

 They are on bases so they can be removed for access etc; I'll re-paint them as required then they can be put to use. The 'multi-coloured' steam loco needs painting, so that will be the next job.

too darn wet !

Not the best of weather over the Xmas/New Year period - lots of rain and storms. I had hoped to maybe do some work on the garden railway - but the ground was too soft and waterlogged. After a good couple of days rain, had a nice puddle about an inch or more deep over the path at the bottom of the garden and filling up the garden railway trench at the top of the garden.....
