Newsies

The daisies on the bank are 'going over' now.  The rudbeckias are on the rise.

Spent far too long today diagnosing a problem with the electric loco which had gone from reliable to brick.  Turns out the gearbox (I would say 'bearings' except it hasn't got any) has worn away so much that it's seized.  Seriously lacklustre response from Mamod's 'customer service'.  Glad I didn't pay the full cost of it (acquired second hand).
