With the wedding, honeymoon and the initial work preparing for January's arrival (painting the nursery pink) has all rather got in the way of modelling recently. Now all is sorted I have got the drive to get on with a couple of projects (though I would much rather still be in Manutius.

First up yet another wagon kit is now ready for painting, another parkside Lowfit.

Will get the paints out and finish it off tomorrow hopefully. Then need to get on with sorting out a couple of appropriate loads.

I have also got on with finishing off the brick work on the station building for the layout, not 100% happy still so will be doing a bit more tidying up (and possibly will end up starting from scratch again if I am still not happy.)

With scaleforum approaching, I have started looking at the winters project list so that I can try and ensure everything required is picked up on the day.

Along with the locos currently in the works, (the 2251, pannier and county), I have now added a Bachmann Hall body which will be mounted to a Comet chassis as 4925 Eynsham Hall. (Chosen after staying there earlier in the summer.) Also need to get some wheels to enable a start on building my Dean goods.
