Well despite what seemed like an impossible task, I actually managed to find a little time this week to do some modelling (well its what I call modelling others will disagree)

Is it just me or is this nearly impossible?

For example during the week, I generally get up for each morning at 5-5:30 am start on my first work emails or tasks at about 6am. Then fit in a breakfast of Coffee and a shower, then leave for the office at around 8am, arrive at 9am. Then the easy task of working lunch free until around 7pm, travel home by 8pm. Then prepare dinner, and usually finish it by 9:30pm the a little time to relax, more emails then off to bed at around 11:30pm. h I forgot the occasional (multiple times a week) 4am phone calls...

Anyway despite this I managed to find the time to not only sort out the relaying of the Forster Street storage yard, but also to prove my theory that it is actually possible to set my fingers on fire, before you say it I'm not an idiot, I only managed to do it twice

What I have proved however is that I am a SOLDERING GOD, if anyone want to see me for lessons in this aspect of Railway modelling, write your requests on the back of a £10 note and send it to me... All I have to do now is solder the wires on the point motors and then fit them but honestly how hard can that be??

Anyway when my fingers have cooled down enough for me to use my camera I may even post pictures, but more importantly I have managed to rescue a poor mistreated Jubilee that some evil manufacturer painted in a terrible mouldy green colour, but I am in the process of saving her?

My intention is to represent a jubilee in the post-war lined black livery (I think its really attractive, other will disagree), which I think will produce a good companion for my crimson fleet (if any one wants a loco in this livery, now I have started this one Farish will announce them in this livery:()

I also splashed some paint on my attempt to produce an original patriot, but the least said about that the better (still lots and lots and lots to do on this ) Well I did attempt to get the pictures in order but its not work, dam my still smouldering fingers......

Anyway as ever Happy Modelling
