I was able to get out into the garden without either getting wet or bringing large amounts of sludge in. The wet weather of last year has taken its toll though.
Given that I intend to revise the the track plan and putting it down was very much planning, then I decided to lift bits and take it for a trip to the washer. The pictures without track also illustrate something I hadn't appreciated. I'm using decking, but use it on the grooved side and soil will collect in the grooves, and because its level it won't wash away. Solution - turn the board over !
This is the pile of some washed and cleaned (nice and shiny) track and stuff waiting (dark and covered in plant residue, snail snot etc...).
The other thing I did today was test out a couple of controllers I'd bought second hand. Another wireless transmitter and a complete handset with transmitter. Everything works good, so I'm now good to have 6 people controlling trains at once, which should be good for open days and operating sessions. The two at the right are a bit different and the only means of controlling any digital controlled points.
