Yes I have a problem - All I can see if 4Fs
Yes I admit it I have a problem.......... I think this model railway bug I have is terminal, or at least it will be when the Domestic Overlord finally realises how many "Toy Trains" I have.
After a brilliant weeks holiday with the Domestic Overlord, down in Cornwall, a day out resulted in me becoming the proud owner of my second one of these.
At only £90 pounds (I still have pains in my wallet) they are astonishing value for money, I know they have been out for a number of years but if you can still find one snap it up.
Now I thought all I had to do would be to either give the loco a simple repaint into LMS black, or like I have on my previous one splash a bit of weathering around to represent a loco, still waiting to be repainted into the glorious LMS ownership. Having limited time today, I thought while I was working out what to do I would add a crew and lamps to my previous loco.
That's when the simple task got a little more complex, as I got the loco out of the stock box, I noticed a couple of the fleet had a crew member missing, so I resolved to put this right,
However I soon ran out of my supply of ready painted crew (I need to paint some more up, I normally do this in batches) as I had a Pat and Scott to crew, and I have also run really low on oil lamps.
The good news is that if I order the lamps, I will have plenty of time to decide what to do with the loco livery wise, the bad news is now I have all the 4Fs together on the layout, perhaps they are still a little too clean, and also what codes to apply to them?
Problems, problems, problems, which will all pale into insignificance if the DO ever found out about my little problem, but I can trust you chaps to keep a secret cant I?????
Until next time happy modelling
