Well another weekend closer to Foster Streets appearance and the Warrington Exhibition, and I amongst all the things I need to finish the storage yard is the most important. So if I was a sensible chap I would have made this the priority and cracked on with finishing off the storage yard, but I can only manage being sensible in very small doses.

The good news is that the work on the storage yard means I get another opportunity to display my soldering God skills, and be warned pictures will follow, just as soon as I regain the use of my fingers after a totally unrelated soldering incident earlier on to day (Phil I know you will laugh when you read this, but I know it's just your way of hiding your jealousy and awe at my truly monumental abilities ).

Anyway I have managed to finish off an on-going project and even started and completed a new one, I have managed to weather my Ivatt Class 2 fleet. The only problem is I have to think if a way of representing or getting a crew in the non-existent minitrix cabs, I need to give this some thought.....

While I was at it I thought I would try and improve the coach fleet the class 2's would be pulling around the layout and decided to repaint a couple of the more battered examples into LNER teak, so they could look like an interregional working, the first coat looks okay the telling bit will be when I try to represent the grain..

Oh well until the next time as ever Happy Modelling
