Well its been a while since my last update, and you think I would have completed a lot of the jobs outstanding on the layout, well that's what I thought and I was wrong.

I had forgot to factor in the "inconsiderate idiot" factor, yes unfortunately I have to work with clots who think it's perfectively acceptable to call me almost constantly from 4am until 12midnight, every single day to bang on about nothing, and then when you don't reply to the phone instantly they then decide to send texts.......

The record this week is after getting my fist call at 5am, and working in the office until 7pm despite telling certain individuals I was going home to have dinner with the Domestic Overlord, decided very kindly to actually allow me 20 minutes freedom before, you guessed it calling, if you think those cold calls are annoying try my receiving calls from my little cherubs..Bless.

Well today is Saturday and I had hoped actually get some sleep and a little time on the layout, but no, 4:30 am, the phone rings and...I contemplate murder. Still not to be phased I decided to get some jobs completed so I set about the layout.

First job was to make a "rickety" fence around one of the Factory on the layout, you know the type that needs a little attention, so out came the card and the superglue and pretty soon, I had enough built to install.

I even managed to knock together a gate as well, there is still a bit more to do on the gate, but that's when it happened, a I was painting the fence I dropped my paintbrush. As I bent down to retrieve it, I smashed my noggin on the underside of the layout OUCH (insert industrial language here )

Still being a hard northerner I pressed on, as after all I had plenty of jobs to do, the next on the list was to improve the back of another factory on the layout...it was then I first noticed it....I was sure I saw an elephant.

Moving on to the next job, I soon had the back of the factory looking a little better than it originally was.

Right I thought all I had to do now was measure up so I could fit some water to the tank, I turned to get my ruler, and when I looked back...

Now I was beginning to worry a little, but I pressed on, I still had to fit the water in the tank at the side of the Goods warehouse, a little measuring up and the job was completed.

Again when I reviewed my work, again I noticed something that was just not right but I could not put my finger on it?

It could worst, every time I looked at the layout there was something there that just did not seem right, something eating away at me but I could not for the life of me figure it out..

THEN RELISATION HIT ME LIKE A BOLT FROM THE BLUE, HARDER THAN THE SHOCK OF HAVING TO OPEN MY WALLET, IT WAS OBVIOUS, IT WAS STARING ME IN THE FACE ALL THE TIME.......I WAS GOING MAD.........THERE WAS THE PROOF INFRONT OF ME........I HAD PAINTED THE FACA GWR GREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going for a lie down, as ever until the next time Happy Modelling
