Progress on Stur has been a little slow of late. Last few weeks prior to going to the BRMA convention were spent preparing wagons for the modelling competition. I was quite happy with my 3 horseboxes. Whilst Brisvegas I did some consulting with our head musketeer, and owner of the 10 track traverser. Also managed to find an article about a OO layout based on Sturminster Newton, which was in the July 1987 edition of Practical Railway Modelling. Some interesting hints and tips there that may be worth following-up.

Over the past week I've managed to work on the rear of the backscene, on the non-viewing side, in the fiddle yard by adding and reinforcing that also acts as a shelf and will also support a TBA lighting arrangement. This work has proved to me that my garage is in a complete mess and needs a good clean-up. It is spring here downunder so it is a good time for a spring clean, even if the temperature is 37C outside. So this weekend will be spent tidying-up. Already I've managed to find several small items that I'd misplaced, many moons ago. Now it s time for the dust to fly and see what other misplaced goodies I can find.
