Foster Street - A loco spottters dream OR MY SCENE OF DOOM

Well its been a while since I made a posting on here, but I have managed to escape the constant toils wracked upon me by the Domestic Overlord :) and I have managed to spend some time working on Foster Street.

 

With a couple of exhibition dates looming there are many jobs I should be spending my time on (the major one being improving the storage yard and track alignment) but you know me that would be too easy.

 

Of the many ways the Domestic Overlord never ceases to amaze me, is the ability to be able to find me a list of jobs' from absolutely nowhere, usually accompanied by remarks like "if you had nothing to do you would be bored", but I have discovered that my talent to make endless jobs for myself even surpasses the DO :)

 

Anyway my intention was to finally re-number a couple of the locomotives in the Foster Street fleet, and I managed to get two black fives completed. The problem is whilst waiting for varnish to dry, it like hardcore paint drying watching, I thought I would complete or start a couple of those little jobs we all must have.

 

The problem is do we ever realise how many of these jobs we actually have?

Yes what might look like a loco spotters dream, is actually turning into my nightmare, there are 12 locomotives, clogging up the branch storage yard that all need some work. The good news is that some of them just need crew adding, some a little weathering, some a little more.............WHAT HAVE I STARTED

 

Until the next time, as ever Happy Modelling :)

Hi Paul, I do sympathize. It will be quite a big job for you to paint all those locos green. And then lettering them GWR afterwards. But worth it, of course...

 

Oh, you were not painting them green? I shall have a word with your Domestic Overlord!
