Briefly, that's a snapshot of the 2009 to 2015 period missing photos. It will take more time to download MY photos from Photobucket.

Excellent work - a pain in the backside - but we appreciate the results.

Taita Gorge in its away strip. Second proof of concept. Next show will see this on a grey mat, with bark chip, and a few plants.

They found seats... Ma and Pa safely inside, Joe's getting a bit of fresh air'.

Of course, I had to test things. Spring evening, things working fine, roll on the summer nights.

You can go off some people. >:)
Getting noticeably autumnal around here.
Heck, it's the Antipods that keep me going through our months of winter.
We're enjoying our first real stretch of summer weather :cool: -- in mid- to late September :wondering:

Figured out that if I park in a certain spot when visiting SWMBO at hospital, I have to drive home past the electronics store. :think:

So, this mornings purchase was a set of batteries (2x7.2V)...... now I've got plenty grunt for the FA1. Test run was good.
Now, tomorrow, I'll fit my Basic Train Engineer in the reefer, and finally join the battery brigade. Well I have to, playing away next week where it's live steam, or battery power.

BTE fitted, tested, and put into service. Moderately happy with the result. I started getting a few shut downs when trying to haul track power size loads. Still stuck with the signal range that has dogged the BTE for yonks, but, I can power up, and down, and reverse direction.
