Freight Train

Not wanting to end the year on a sour note, I decided to make a brief video of one of my model trains running on an oval of track I set up in the front room - a sort of trip down memory lane, of when as a kid I'd set up the train set on the living room floor.  The results aren't too impressive - stalling locomotives, de-railing wagons and poor lighting rather spoiled the effect.  (Naturally, when the camera wasn't on, the locomotive managed perfect circuits of the track).  The sparking from underneath the Standard Five is testament to the fact that I still haven't properly sorted out its pick-ups.  Another job for next year.

Anyway, a Happy New Year to all.  See you in 2026.
