Park Ranger ...

 For some fun I have some large plastic dinosaurs in the grass area in the middle of the garden railway. I found a suitable park ranger in jeep for them - a kids toy Jurassic Park jeep.

Track powered locos are Go ...

 Over the last few days have been cleaning the track on the garden layout, I had not used it for track-powered locos since 2 years ago. To start with I used some cleaning fluid, which I sprayed on and let the rain wash it off - this got the worst of the tarnishing and dirt on the track; this was followed by a session with a track rubber.

Today got out my track cleaning loco to buff up the track top

a few 'sticky' areas were cleaned with the track rubber. Once all done, found a couple of areas of track that needed a bit of levelling and so ready to run a train ...

I chose my new little feldbahn loco and a rake of tipper trucks, spent a happy time watching it go round...
