I’m back up in the loft again today. I’ve done some more packing away of rolling stock (still can’t find that box!) and I’ve actually started lifting the track. Some bits are coming up much easier than others and there are some pieces of track that I will definitely not be able to re-use. With the bits pinned on the ends of the sleepers, the rail tended to come out of the tiny chairs that hold it on code 75 track and it never goes back in. One thing I have discovered is that track pins draw a lot of blood! I’m not trying to save any of the track pins, they’re all going in the bin. The old monitor I had plugged into my laptop up there is out ready to go to the tip. The Black & Decker workmate I was using has come down and gone out to the shed.
I was really getting ‘into the zone’ in the afternoon when I was dragged away for family responsibilities (I had to go and look at a ladies puppies!).
Back to work tomorrow so no more progress for a while.
