After almost two weeks of work to re ballast and repair an 8 ft section of track , i got to run an engine for the first time this year, I still have some more work to do yet , putting some houses out and plant some flowers . tomorrow i’ll put an engine and about 15 cars to see that no derailments happen . BEN
You got that right Ben, We hosted train club on Sunday; spent 3 days getting layout ready to run.
Sure glad I used SS track so I didn’t have to waste a bunch of time cleaning track. Did a quick reballast job, and now going back and using an adhesive/bonder to try holding ballast longer.

we are up and running ,the train ran real good , got to get the buildings that i have ready to put out, may be today Saturday 19 th. theirs still a little work with the ballast yet . Ben[:)]
The weather has been very cooperative lately, so I have begun on my RR- that is to say I have begun with the pool, then the front yard, then the garage, then the gutters, THEN the RR at some point[xx(]
Overall not too much to do really, once I clean out the weeds and clean the track I don’t forsee any real issues. Maybe one nice day, 6 or 7 hours, it should be just fine. Wish I could say the same for Town- most of the buildings are no longer useable- BUT that can only mean that I must start right away building some new ones[;)]
Hello T.J.
Good hearing from you , today i had to rebuild my water wheel at the pond ,didn’t get it finished , must go to Lowe’s and get some big washers to use as spacers on the shaft between the water wheel and bearing , all good things take time . I didn’t get the buildings out along the tracks today . tomorrow is another day . Ben
Hi Benny, On my side of the pond we were lucky to get a few days running in march but since then the weather has been to cold and high winds. Looking forward to some warmer weather so can get out and put a new road on my layout the people that live there are fed up getting their feet wet.
