Layout shakedown

 First Ops shakedown.

On the 7th of November I invited Anthony Palmer from QLD to run the layout to test out the car card system and train info packs while he was down from Brisbane. The layout ran well with only a few minor updates to be made. Anthony ran each of the local jobs and a through train and hours of entertainment was had.

Prior to Anthony arriving I installed black rubber 1m x 1m flooring in the shed. This has helped with insulation and noise.

On the 14th of December I then opened the shed up to a larger group consisting of Rod Warren, John Fahey, John Colliver, Graham Meyer and Derek M.

The layout again ran very well.

Post Christmas I made some minor changes to the Whitehall yard by adding another siding for the grain elevator.

The next Ops Session will be with a small group from the NMRA on Tuesday the 20th.
