The heat was oppressive on Monday. Infact it was oppressive all week, although I did get around to mowing my lawn. On Monday I went to the shed and placed my newly purchased points from the previous weekend's model railway show where they were to be installed. But the heat got to me so did not stay long. I sent out my email calling for operators for my next Operations Sessions. I have also started writing up my layout notices for the upcoming Operations Session, so attendees know what has changed, etc.
Tuesday night we went over to Barnacle’s place and there were 15 of us there. He put on a great Christmas spread. That is our last get together for the year.
On Thursday I went to the shed for a short time and installed all the trackage for the end of South Brisbane. I’m thinking that I need to move it north by about 1.5 inches, to provide greater clearance around a post holding up the baseboard lights in that area. But it reduces the space in the headshunt.
Saturday was the my train Club's Christmas Party. Last year the modelling comp was very well represented, this year however, only three entries were submitted. But they were all very good. We had a great afternoon with lunch provided and a few raffles drawn. As usual, I did not win anything. Now, while I had prepared to put an entry in for the modelling comp, I never completed my entry, so I can't complain about the lack of entries. But congratulations to those that put their models in.
While at the Club I was taking orders for some more 12mm bogies that I will get from OS. So far the order is getting quite sizable. That will be placed early this week, and hopefully shipped from OS before Christmas, and we should get them before New Year.
I have had lots of events to attend to this last week, and some more this next week. I will need to turn my attention to cleaning the tracks, cleaning loco wheels and ensuring the headsets and phone systems are also working optimally prior to the Ops Sessions. I still have plenty of modelling activities to dive into, but I might have to put them on hold until after the preparation tasks for the upcoming Operations Sessions have been completed.
