I have been away (and no Internet, how did we survive without it?) for a few days and came home to a package from Fox. Now the GWR brass plates can be affixed for 2551, 3207, 5724 and 4804. But not until the entire stock is moved to southern France in a few days time. I have made the decision to keep the two layouts (Shipston and Legge lane MPD) in France for the time being. SWMBO needs the space here in England, what more can I say? (But then I like France). The good news is that the modules that exist are relatively small and fit in the trunk/boot of my car.

There will be some activity before Christmas but then there will be a hiatus until mid January. The good news is that a limited amount of material will be left behind in England to allow me to start on a Comet Models Black 5 Caprotti. So there will be activity in both countries, obviously related to where I might be at the time.

And the big decision has been made. I officially retire on December 31st! This should mean a lot more focus on modeling. Stay tuned.
