LAYOUT- Disrailment Problems Solved.

 I spent the day sorting out the layout by glueing down parts of the track, adding short straight track to where there were 'S curves' and replacing the GP7 Diesel's coupller with one with a longer shank. All this helped and now I can run the train around the Layout completely without any derailments or uncoupling.                                               

The GP7 Diesel hauls a short Freight train.

Well- next post will be of the entire Layout.
Stay well my Friends.
Regards. KEV.

    1. BOB- It took awhile to work out what to do about the disrailment problems - now it is solved. It takes about six and a half minutes for the train to make one lap around the circuit. Very pleased with it all now as the Layout is fully operational. Cheers. KEV.
