It's winter hereabouts, but the long weekend has been a clear run between the cold fronts, so the backyard has dried out a little and a short test run was organised.
I recently finished a short rake of unloaded log bogies to use up some surplus parts and the photo below shows them on a test run behind the Kerr-Stuart Skylark. The wheels are some old Andel castings that I've found are a bit brittle for regular use, but they will be OK for bogies that will mostly be used as static models when running the timber tram.
As always a battery powered loco is a more convenient way of running a train for a short test. The backyard is mostly in shadow during the day at this time of year, but late in the afternoon the sun shines through a gap in the trees long enough for a short run.
