Woodlock Logging

A new retaining wall at the shed, stopping stray ballast going into the cess, and stopping the locomotive shed door opening. I just used some old LGB platform that I found knocking about.

Just like the prototype!

I seem to remember AustrianNG once writing that these pale green (looks like primer to me) U Class locos were relatively rare, posssibly so as most seem to be black or a darker green. No doubt someone will shoot me down in flames for mentioning that.

With the sun, the garden done, a few pictures.

Ten years old now, my railway.

Staged photo, need to clean the track.

 

[duncan1_9_8_4]

Keeping it simple after nights. Need to clean up some of the points, as some are causing small locomotives to stop dead on the blade. Any recommendations on how to clean the blades for contact?

Points, I clean the contact strips on the sleepers and apply a smear of copperslip....

 

[duncan1_9_8_4]

Problem solved....

 

[PhilP]

Wow! You can make your points operate that fast!

Copper Slip, I shall have a look.

Nice to get the track cleaned today. I must get the LGB Track Cleaning Locomotive one day....

It's amazing what you've done in that space, although you do have a good Supervisor in the cat to guide you.

Yep. He's always out when the railway is working.
