I realize anyone reading this blog is waiting for the details of track and models, and they will come, triumph and disaster

(i'm guessing mainly the latter).

The first few posts are I guess, a catharsis for me and a pointer for people who jump in to modelling too quickly, without knowing what it is they wish to achieve. (Like me)

I'm purposely taking my time with the posts as I've recently got married, moved home, lost my workshop, have to keep the missus happy and start from scratch in modelling, as apart from a few plastic car models, I've done no modelling for decades.

My modelling time is also quite limited, but I'll do my best to keep you all up to date with what I'm doing. 

The layout, there will be progress pics for sure.

I'll also bore you with workshop setup, skill setup - first will be how not to use a cheap Chinese airbrush.

Then the stock repair and improvement entries - come visit every now and then to see how well (?) I'm doing.

This might have been better as part of a blog entry but hey, it's not like a million of you will take the time to read it.

And there's always the edit option.

See you soon

Ah! The Bernina Express no less, now that should be an interesting model.

I'll look forward to its progress.

Enjoy !

that's a compact layout in such a small space but gives loads of different operations. very impressed!

Sorry to disappoint you, that was just to keep the "curves too tight, inclines too steep" brigade quiet.

Mine will be a "somewhere in the North of England, sometime before 1962" layout.

I'll get a bit of fun out of it if nobody else does.

That was the key plan,

I know it's more trainset than model, but it gives me scope to both test and run in all my stock

while allowing me to play around shunting wagons, and keep changing and hopefully upgrading buildings and general scenics.
