Track cleaned and trains running....

 Having cleaned the track on the garden layout yesterday, tried to run a train but one of the points had some conductivity problems .. a wire brush on the edge of rails and power restored... 

and I let the little speeder have a few turns round the layout

Time for a decent sized train. a first run outdoors for the K1 Garratt and some 4-wheel coaches.
