Well its been a while since I have posted an update on here, its not that I have not been doing any modelling, its just that what little time I have had to work on the layout, has been taken up with those jobs that just eat modelling time.

As I am rapidly approaching the big 40, I have noticed that more and more parts of everyday life are just there for me to moan about, I mean is it just me? it can't be?

Anyway one aspect of modelling that really gets to me is the lack of headlamps on locomotives, I know we accept lots of compromises in our hobby, but I'm putting my foot down (yes I have re-discovered how to throw tantrums)

So with my favourite weapon of mass destruction aka Super glue I set about adding lamps to some of the fleet, it was not long before my left thumb had the express passenger code fitted, and my right forefinger was ready for an unfitted freight, but I also got some fitted to the fleet.

It was only after I had had a couple of the trains running around the layout that I noticed that a couple of the little "brilliance" crystals were missing from the lamps

AAARRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH until the next time, as ever Happy Modelling
