Garden railway show and more digging

On Saturday the 12th I visited the 16mm Associations annual AGM Garden railway Show in Peterborough. I spent far too much money and met a few wonderful people who I have been conversing with on the associations Facebook feed.
Next years on is on 11th April at the Peterborough Showground in the Arena, well worth a visit.

On the Sunday I cleared a load of rubbish down to the dump and then began digging out the foundation trench for the next section of railway. Once this new part is completed I will have about half the circuit completed.

I also have got the first of the railcars running, although only temporarly with a 3v power pack. Titch, the little diesel loco, has started to get its paint applied and should be ready for service soon.

The small motor fits under the railcar quite neatly.
