circuit is about 700m long. Has I passing loop for main line & station. By mid afternoon, most trains were put away (owners either had enuff or they *broke down- this happens alot)

When I left only 1 train was going- think it was a 0-4-0 saddle tank.

Hi Clinton,

Aedan and I got there at 1:40 and they were just about packed up then.  2 locos left running.  One loco was a very small 040.  Luckily we got a ride and then there were none.
