11/21/18 Switching

[Sharon Evans]

The 2 coaches needed for the Christmas train are now spotted on the main just across the access road to the north side of the shop. Earlier 15 was out of the house and running so probably it did the switching and I will review the recordings in a bit and post shots of the moves.

I notice that the Christmas signage has been placed on the cars near the depot. Just a couple of weeks 'til we'll see the fun!
