Cheap talcum powder spread sparingly as though a snowfall in a city centre that is slowly disappearing.
It has been down nearly two years. The faint smell of the cheap talc has long gone.

I have a rake of Consett Iron Co wagons. A chance to purchase a Class 9F that had hardly been run was made.

Having spent a 'few days' in hospital tasting hospital food they let me out until I go for my next x-ray.

I did go in the train room yesterday for a few minutes and changed the rolling stock over from diesel to steam operation.

I did not run any trains, but the tram passed by on its way to the depot.

Shall post pictures on next running session

Barry: Just another challenge through life. I have pneumonia that has settled on a lung. Taking it as easy as I can. I still have to care for my wife who is disabled. We shall get through it.

The tram is not motorised, but I move it up and down the scene as if it does move. LOL

New railway wagons purchased from Medway Queen Paddle Steamer Preservation Society; a cause I support.

Three clockwork locomotives I run on my garden railway. They are in the process of being repainted in green with red lining. Names for them are to be purchased.

One locomotive is green with red lining. One is green, red lining to be added. The third was a garish red now repainted matt black. It will be painted green like its sisters.
