Never a dull moment ..... apart from looking out of the window.

This Saturday I'm running the Silverfox DCC Clubs "Thomas at Silverfox Island" About a half & half job as I built

it and bought about half the components that made it as well as supplying the two Select DCC units used by the

children who drive on it.

Sunday it's a trip to the Ecclesbourne railway with the Milton Keynes MRC. We donated our working signal to

them when we were pushed out of Bletchley Park at the end of last year. It'll be good to see the old friend !!

Monday back to Dorset and "Shillingstones Lane", I want to build additional exchangeable sections to change

the whole atmosphere ...... I even thought about covering the track and turning into a small industrial

estate, the sort of diorama showing what became of most small branch line infrastructures since the 1960's.

The first changes will be going back to before the current farm cottage was built and to do this as quickly as

possible I intend using the Dapol thatched cottage ..... at under £4.50 it's a snip. So perhaps when I next

get on line I'll be able to show two different dioramas on the same shallow cutting base section. Still loads

of painting needed on that thatched cottage ..... just the thing for wet days in Dorset, a sort of insurance

on the weather, if I have indoors work it'll be fine & sunny !!!!

To see the diorama look at "Shocking Neglect" posting.
