Really nice warm glow.

You can almost feel the warmth from the stove.

I thought I would start the year off with a picture of my favourite Class of loco. Having said that, 35028 Clan Line is as dead as a dodo at the moment. It was a DCC "factory fitted" loco, bought from a deceased's collection, and it has been in the box since December 2014. I have removed the decoder and capacitor and fitted a TCS DP2X-UK - however even that was suspect. Looks like some shopping required? :roll:

Nice picture to start off the new year BB. Hope you get 35028 moving but still looks good standing in the station.

Thanks Bob - I don't think I'd ever run it, so it may have been like that from when I got it. A friend had been asked to dispose of the deceased's collection, and knowing my interest in Merchant Navy Class, asked if I wanted it - it would have been rude to say no :) Barry

This loco is a bit of an odd one - 35012 United States Lines - I built it from and Ebay purchased M/N Body, a DCC Chassis and a tender - it runs well. The cost was about the same as buying a completed loco. It seemed like a good idea at the time :roll:

I have cleared the fiddle yard. The track had not been cleaned for sometime, so decided to box-up a number of coaches, clean the track and may be apply some more greenery/weeds. I also found a "dead" track in the fiddle yard, so have checked the wiring under the boards, and found a couple of connectors that were not "connecting" as they should - all ok now. Barry

The lights in the alcoves are perfect Barry. Just the right glow.
