Sunday Goods...

Time to run a small train today, an oddment goods...

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.

Sunny Sunday afternoon ...

 Enjoyed the Sunday afternoon sunshine while I ran a short train around the garden layout...

K1 Garratt Project (17) - All done and ready for service ....

The loco build project finally finished. Four coats of gloss varnish applied, apart from the smoke box and funnel. Left to harden off for a few days.

A lovely sunny day to pose the loco outside...

As I hadn't cleaned the track in the garden, went into the garage to take some more photos...

and run a small goods train ....

K1 Garratt Project (16) - into the paint shop...

On the final stretch now with this project; I have given the loco its first coat of paint 

bits separated for final touch-in and application of gloss varnish...

Wagon works(5)... new freight vans...

Two new freight wagons finished over the weekend - a Fish Van and a Box Van from Plateway Models kits.

K1 Garratt Project (15) - primed ready for paint job..

 A warm'ish morning today, so I setup my spray booth in the garage. I used some sea grey acrylic spray paint - the loco was given a nice coat as a primer ..

Now it is starting to look the part; current plan is to paint it maroon on the boiler, cab & end tanks; black for the rest, I may leave the wheels in red or touch in with maroon as well.
