Is this a polite way of saying you have no facilities yet for mopping up your track after C16s!. And no ash pit either!. We are patient people. We can wait for at least two weeks.
Congratulations again, and pleased that you got way beyond the paint line in the garden stage. (Now that is being really facetiuos!).

jeff's note, while i'm sure was intended to be facetious, isn't too far off the mark. i am awaiting some of those bridge clamps from hillman and then will get the bridges working ... i don't really want guests until i can guarantee egress and right now getting out of the circle when the rails are all down can be exciting.
i have a steamup-bay/storage yard that is now not connected to the main loop -- i'm going to have to build a turnout that is at an interesting angle to get the bay on-line to the mainline.
plus, there have to be a lot more test runs -- i wouldn't want anything to happen to jeff's c-16, for example.
rest assured that there will be an announcement on the pcls list soon about a steamup.
