Eventually, I marshalled all the freight wagons into one long train....

Probably the longest train I've ever run, as most my consists are 4-5 wagons long....

This is because space dictates that my sidings, loops and headshunts have a maximum train length of 5 or 6 two axle wagons, so it makes marshalling a freight somewhat of a challenge!

As well as bringing along a point motor for Weybourne South Junction, I asked Chris if he could bring his Bo-Bo for 'testing'....

I soon had Chris's lad Aaron on route learning....

I've always liked the look of these locos and I've hankered after one for a while, and up until this weekend, I'd never even seen one running for real....

Lurve those wizzy cranks! Thank-you Fenland Family Alpenbahn for taking the trouble to visit and deliver one point motor, and allowing me to 'evaluate' the Bo-Bo.
