Rain Rain Rain and an Op Session

For the last three days, it has been raining incessantly.  We must have received about 100mm+ over that period.  Unfortunately, a visit to the shed today revealed the ply at some sections of the layout had absorbed water and buckled.  Spent most of the day fixing those sections.  Don't know why I layed down 3mm ply. It seems to absorb the moisture like a sponge.  Good thing is I had the time to fix most of it.

Also spent the last two days decaling some wagons.  Still have a few GYs to do and the cattle and sheep stock.

Friday 18th Jan, I had my first operating session with another VR modeller.  We had approximately four hours to run to a schedule.  We didn't have time to complete all movements, but did have alot of fun!

A few enhancements and ideas came out of the session.  Some photos (in no particular order)
We did run the Dimmy pass and since we don't have a Walker Rail motor, ran a T Class loco hauled pass for the branch line service.

Thanks to Anthony for provding the extra motive power and rolling-stock.  Looking forward to the next one.
