Thanks!

Photo taken at last NSNGM narrow gauge group meeting.

A quick "thank you" to everyone worldwide for taking an interest in my little blog, it has now had over 11,000 views. 

Not everything goes to plan though.  I took my 09 scale "drawer module" to our last Group meeting, I found several faults.  Perhaps it's because I am trying new stock, locos and techniques.  

1: I am generally happy with the couplers that I am using, but the uncoupling magnets kept drawing wagons back, not magnetised to the wheels (as I am using Peco N gauge spoked nylon/plastic wheels) but to the couplings themselves, this is despite the magnets being purposely quite weak.

2: The locos and stock are struggling to cope with the Peco "Y" points, I have had this issue before with 009 stock.

3: Some wagons need more weight.

4: Some people have commented, quite rightly, that the locos need seated drivers as the roofs are quite low.  So, I will add a seat to the rear cab sheets (like the Heywood locos) and get some seated drivers added.  But, it's quite a job finding the right seated drivers in 0 scale. 

  "Standing" driver figures in danger of getting bruised noses!

So, a few modifications still to do.  It is certainly worthwhile trying these things out on a small module or diorama like this before building a larger layout (as planned).
