Well with everything that has been going on lately here at "Trump Towers" (named due to a recent a prolonged outbreak of wind) modelling time has been in very short supply. I have been working on finishing my Stannier 2-6-4T and have managed with a very shaky hand to lined the loco, well at least sort of.

Anyway the project that has really been eating into my time is the populating of the area surrounding Foster street with some of the your average locals. Well at least my representation of the typical down to earth, honest working class characters so typical of your average town in the Northwest. That was my intention at any rate, where some of the more "dodgy" individuals came from I have no idea )

All have originated from the standard Peco N Guage modelscene range, and I have attempted to paint them in colours subtle enough to let them blend into the environment rather than stand out. Some I have even modified with the aid of a little modelling putty to provide some of the more unusual inhabitants including Death and the Penguins of Doom (Not a pop act, but actual Nuns ) the reprobate Billy Grimes has even made an appearance, he is the one in the Red blazer.

The results will have to do for now, as the effect of trying to paint ties on N gauge figures has not only had an effect on my fragile eyesight, but also my sanity (according to the Domestic Overlord my sanity is a quickly diminishing resource ). So until the next time, if I can escape my padded cell Happy Modelling
