I'm back!
,Hello there you wonderful people. Before I begin. I've been going it alone with a new and spankingly brilliant* blog.

*I'ts probably not that brilliant.
Please do read it. It's rather irreverent but I'd like to think I've been a life changers
Anyway.
I've been a little busy as well as a little down about things. I've not had a job for nigh on two months now and I'm slightly wound up unable to find a new job and slowly loosing money. But how else do you keep yourself entertained?
PUGBASH!
Yeah so using Dapol's wonderful kit, a Graham Farish 94xx chassis and some plasicard, I've been making a rather arrogant and chunky looking narrow gauge tram locomotive.
The motor needs some running in and it looks a little rickty with some strangely large rivets (does anyone else thing they're large?)
I'm not happy with the back of the roof but that'll be covered up with some tarpaulin covers.
I even made a cradle for it to fit into a Wachy Bachy well wagons
Looking at the size of it I think it would fit into the Campbelltown and Machnimarish/Lynton Barnstaple railway loading gauge (thank god Peco have released some new wagons). But is a little too big for the Ffestiniog wagons. Hmm, does anyone beg to differ?
If the coaches I have bought have proved to be a tad too small, can anyone suggest any alternative wagons (especially balcony type ones) I had been considering converting some street trams.
Anyway, I have a couple of layout ideas.
On top of that, I'm making a slow but sure start in 16mm scale with some things I bought at Elsecar when I actually had a job!
