Tuesday night at the Huff and Puff Feb 27, 2018.

Two week update. Other than a problem turnouts or 2 the layout is running well. Maybe these will be corrected next week. Finally had a comment on the blog. One of the newer members was explaining his frustration with or new sawdust car. I had thought a new set of trucks had fixed the problem. Turns out it is too tall so it's off  to the bandsaw it goes. A couple of backgrounds were also added. The oops photo below shows what happens when you socialize while you're engine it still under power.

Tuesday night at the Huff and Puff Feb 13, 2018

The mysterious hill in Miller was removed. It turned out to be a pond of hydrocal? It still has to be ballasted. Tabs were added to some turnout throw bars. The yards got congested by nights end so we moved out so cars to sidings. We have to remember that you switch car for car, not remove everything like the old system.

Tuesday night at the Huff and Puff Feb 6, 2018.

Meeting night. After a financial report and an update on upcoming events the floor was opened to a general discussion period. Because of a lack of time and material work night was postponed, although more over center springs were added. While doing so a problem area where two turnouts join together was found in Herons Landing.  One more project to be done. The lump in the siding to City Service in Miller was checked out. It will be worked on probably next week.
Problem turnouts 

Lots of engineers
