Wow it has been a year since the last update and as usual
life has got in the way of the layout but I have been picking away at it. At
the moment I am in the process of finishing off the track and wiring on the top
deck including the remaining point motors and push rods for the manual throws.
While doing this work I discovered two of the DCC Concepts switch motors had
stopped working and another one was non-functional out of the box. I have
replaced these with some new upgraded ones I recently purchased and will put
them in the storage yards when they get back. A very quick reply (within five minutes) to an
email with a few things to try came from the office in Perth but to no avail
and the offending items have been sent for repair or replacement. Most of the track work involves replacing
sleepers under joins and feeder and securing the wiring underneath.

Some times you can combine train time and family time, this is us at the 2016 Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba in front of the shuttle train from Toowoomba to Spring Bluff Station.
