Spring is well advanced in Denmark and modelling time has been awfully limited. Work and other tasks have taken up too much time. But the first harvest from the garden's rhubarb plants is traditionally carried out with assistance from a 1/19 scale industrial railway on transportable tracks. This year wasn't any different.

| This year's rhubarb train was made up from the light and versatile Lister R, two timber bolster bogies and Peco SM32 track panels. |
In comparison to the rhubarb train of 2022, this year's train had progressed considerably. Proper wagons for the transport of rhubarb stalks had been finished in 2024. Mostly used for the transport of timber, the timber bogies are 3D printed items from Rail Print detailed and painted. As a further improvement to earlier rhubarb seasons, this year I had managed to paint the track panels a nice rusty colour to blend in better with the surrounding nature. Wet weather and slippery rail heads limited the train length, though. As a consequence only timber bogie 72 and 79 was in use during the rhubarb campaign.
