Hi all,

Firstly many thanks to all who commented on my last entry, I'm still not very conversant with these bloggy things so updates will be seriously slow!

Well, I did a fair bit of reading on the Scottish railways and I like them all!

I found a photograph in the book "Scottish Branch lines" by C.J. Gammell (OPC), of an overall view of Macduff - and fell in love! Here was the picture perfect, modellers BLT. It has a short platform, overall roof, freight and loco facilities and is set on a hillside that is quite plain above and below so is really ideal for the modeller!

It is a former Great North of Scotland station and while I do quite like the little 4-4-0's this line was famous for, I'm not actually sure that I would want to devote the large amount of my modelling career required to do justice to modelling this little station in pre-group days.

My problem is that I get distracted by other things so very easily and new projects come along too quickly, maybe I have the modellers equivalent of ADHD?

Anyway, I feel that I am not able to do justice to this project, my passion for it has already dried up unfortunately. I would like to propose it as a future project for my club but, who knows? So, if anyone out there is looking for a really nice project for a smaller station that should be easily manageable, feel free to investigate further - it could be just what you're looking for!

Cheers,

John E.
