Well the weekend finally arrived well at least Saturday did, an I got my long waited for lie in, it was bliss instead of getting up for 4am to get ready for work, I got up at 5am so I could spend a few hours in the office, then I rushed home to escort the Domestic Overlord out on a shopping expedition.

Anyway eventually I managed to get everything completed so I could spend a little time on Foster Street, to try and get it ready before the rapidly approaching deadline.

I had intended to get some of the electrics sorted, as I still have to complete the re-wire and fit new point motors in the goods yard, and work on a reliable N gauge uncoupling system. So with all this to do and a few other things, yes you guessed it I played trains, well actually I spent a little time sorting out two of the 9 trains that will fill the storage yard.

In each direction I will have a 10 coach express formation, hauled by a Maroon Jubilee (if they don't shed anymore traction tyres) or a Scott or if I can justify it a Duchess - well it is my railway

So how did I spend my time tonight? Well I did a little weathering of the coaching stock that forms these trains, using my usual simple methods in an attempt to portray trains a little work weary and showing the effects of our typical North West weather (Rain, rain and more rain).

I will leave it to you to decide if this was successful, all I have to do now is wait for them to dry....

Now when can I get the time to work on the other 17? Until next time as ever Happy Modelling
