The end of the line?

After so much soggy March weather (& an Easter weekend wiped out by sickness), Sunday turned out to be a nice warm Spring day. After lunch, I found time to do some gardening, and to have anther crack at removing the bulbs that have been steadily pushing up the paving bricks on the main loop - hopefully mostly cleared by now. Then my sister & family popped in, so we ran a couple of battery locos for the boys (the youngest of whom was very excited!).

Later on I managed to have couple of hours to myself, and got nearly all of the remaining route to the shed laid, including the station run-around loop & siding. The run around loop is quite short, clearance for three or so good sized wagons, but hopefully this might be improved with some tweaking. Some fettling in of the line itself is required, and completion of the run around spur & siding on a few last pavers, but the track was complete enough to allow the first ever proper 'out & back' run at about 7pm (longer evenings are back - hurray!).
