A sunny Sunday and no reason no to
run more trains having temporary fixed
the issue where one section of the layout
was shorting out.

A good chance to test GWR 5199 as I have
replaced the motor, gearbox and it has
new shoes all around from Slaters.

The Ellis Clark Trains Black 5 just does what
is sais on the tin, running with all fitted
freight displaying the correct headcode.
During the winter months I made some
changes to the lamps and added little
sockets on the running board where a
spare lamp can be plugged in.

The Minerva Model Railways GWR 56xx just
ran happily around with a rake of 16t coal
wagons, no complaints.
