(Blog Entry and photos by Bob)
With all the home improvement projects we have completed over the last couple of months, there has been little time to run trains. With the sun setting by 5:30pm every night I did take a series of night photos and videos but they turned out terrible. Setting aside a beautiful Sunday, I ran three trains and took a lot of pictures.
The first two photographs are of the track before I cleared it to show the difference compared to 2014 (Fall 2014 in G-Scale Land Garden Railroad Layout - October 25, 2014). The raised track is clearing itself of the leaves extremely well. I only had to complete a short walk-around to check for squirrel nut shells.
The remainder of the pictures are of driving the trains out onto the layout. I did not have any problems today with de-railments, dead batteries or monsters destroying the world (maybe next time).
