Dapol Track Cleaner is a suck-cess

For its first test I am running the Dapol Track Cleaner over the recently ballasted trackwork.

Here it is, hooked up behind the Class 60, ready for its first trial.

After running over the single track, in both directions, this is what it managed to collect. I was quite impressed with its performance, and I’m sure it is going to prove itself very useful.

Also, in the same session in the loft, I started to wire up the transformer for building and scenic lighting.

Pressing the old Hammant & Morgan transformer into service as power supply for building and scenic lighting.

I’ve decided on a colour combination of black and orange for wiring the lighting, with black being the common wire.
