The Shankly and Gdynia Railway is back. Only one track - the outer Triang circuit, but it was nice to run a locomotive today for the first time since late July.
Unfortunately, it quickly became obvious that I hadn't made a very good job of track laying. The locomotive - Old Faithful - went around a hundred times no problem, but as soon as I put a wagon on the back - derailment. I tried a larger wagon, which I have added weights to, and this was fine going round clockwise, but I didn't even try anticlockwise because I could feel with my finger that the join was not smooth.
My plan is to push on with changing the inner three circuits of track and then re-lay the outer.

The photo shows Old Faithful pulling the derailing wagon, which was my birthday present from my sister's husband, Kevin. At last, out of the box and onto the layout, and very nice it is too. Thanks Kev!
